Cake   of   rOUTlFlCATIONS. 

§6.  No  person  shall  be  permitted  to  walk  upon  any  of  thes-Iopes  of  a 
fortification,  except  the  ramps  and  glacis.  If,  in  any  case,  it  be  necessary 
to  pi'oyide  for  crossing  them,  it  sliould-be  done  by  placitig  wooden  steps 
or  stairs  against  the  slopes.  The  occasional  walking  of  persons  on  a 
parapet  will  do  no  harm,  provided  it  be  not  allowed  to  cut  the  surface 
into  paths. 

37.  No  cattle,  horses,  or  other  animal  shall  ever  be  permitted  to  go 
upon  the  slopes,  the  rampart«,  or  the  parapets,  nor  upon  the  glacis,  ex- 
cept within  fenced  limits,  which  should  not  approacli  the  crest  nearer 
than  30  feet.    , 

38.  All  grassed  surfaces,  excepting  the  glacis,  will  be  carefully  and 
frequently  mowed,  (except  in  dry  weather,)  and  the  oftener  the  better, 
while  growing  rapidly — tlie  grass  being  never  allowed  to  be  more  than 
a  few  inches  high.  In  order  to  cut  the  grass  even  and  clostf,  upon  small 
slopes,,  a  light  one-handed  scythe  should  be  used  ;  and  in  mowing  the 
steep  slopes,  the  mower  sliouid  stand  on  a  light  ladder  resting  against 
the  slope,  and  not  upon  the  grass.  Crops  of  hay  may  be  cut  on  the 
glacis;  or,  if  fenced,  itm<y  )io  used  as  ]^asture,  otherwise  it  should  bo 
treated  as  other  slopes  of  the  fortification.  On  all  the  sloped,  spots  of 
dead  grass  will  be  cut  out  and  replaced  by  fresh  sod.  All  weeds  will 
be  eradicated. 

39.  The  burning  of  grass  upon  any  portion  of  a  fortification  is  strict- 
ly forbidden. 

40.  Particular  attention  is  required  to  prevent  the  formation  of  gul- 
lies in  the  parade,  terrcplein,  and  ramps,  and  especially  in  slopes  wlfere 
grass  is  not  well  established. 

41.  Earth,  sand  or  ashes,  must  not  be  placed  against  wood  work  ;  a

42.  Tlie  niacliinery  of  draw  bridges,  gates,  and  posterns  must  be  kept 
in  good  working  order  by  proper  cleaning  and  oiling  of  the  parts  ;  the

in  nmuMting  them,  strong  way-planks  will  bo  used,  and  neither  the 
wheels  nor  any  other  part  of  the  carriages,  nor  any  machinery,  such  as 
shears,  gins,  &c.,  nor  any  handspike  or  otlior  implements,  will  be  allowed 
to  toucii  those  surfaces.  Unless  protected  in  a  similar  manner,  no  wheel- 
barrow, or  vehicle,  or  barrel,  shnll  be  rolled  on  said  surfaces.  No  vio- 
lent work  will  be  done,  nor  any  heavy  weight  suffered  to  fall  upon  them. 
In  using  machines,  as  gii^,  &c.,  in  casemates,  care  must  be  taken  not  to 
injure  the  arch,  or  ceiling,  or  floors.  Neglect  of  these  precautions  may 
cause  injuries  apparently  slight,  but  serious  in  effect,  from  leaking  of 
water  into  masonry,  casemates,  &c. 

44.  The  doors  and  wiiidows  of  all  store  rooms  and  unoccupied  case- 
mates, quarters,  barracks,  &o.,  will  be  opened  several  times  a  week  for 
thor(ugli  ventilation. 

45.  Masonry  shot-furnaces  will  be  heated  only  on  the  approach  of  an 
enemy.  For  ordinary  practice  with  hot  sh'l,  iron  furnaces  are  provided. 

46."  The  foregoing  matters  involve  but  little  expense;  the  labor  is 
witiiin  the  mea:is  of  eyerv  garrison,  and  no  technical  knowledge  is  re- 
quired beyond  what  will  *be  found  among  soldrers.  Other  repsiir^  re- 
quirin<v  sj,,;,!!  disbursements,  such  as  repainting  exposed  wood  or  iron 
work,  can  be  also  excuted  by  the  garrison  ;  but  rep<.rt8,  estimates,  and 
re<iuisilions,  may  he  necessary  to  obtain  the  materials.      _ 

47.  No  alteration  will  bo  made  in  any  fortification,  or  in  any  build- 
ing whatever  belonging  to  it,  nor  in  any  building  or  work  of  any  kind; 
nor  will  any  building  or  work  of  earth,  masonry,  or  timber,  be  erected 
within  the  fortification,  or  on  its  exterior,  within  half  a  mile,  except 
under  the  superintendence  of  the  Engineer  Dcparlmcut,  and  by  authori- 
ty of  the  Secretary  of  War.

is  well  preserved.  They  should  be  opened  every  other  day,  when  the 
air  is  dry  and  clear.  Barrels  of  powder  should  be  turned  and  rolled

should  be  kept  filled.  If  the  paper  body  of  the  cartridge  becomes  soft, 
or  loses  its  sizing,  it  is  certain  that  the  magazine  is  very  damp,  and 
means  should  be  found  to  improve  the  ventilation.  Cartridge  bags  may 
be  kept  in  the  magazine  ready  for  filling;  also  port  fires,  fuses,  tubes 
and  primers.  Stands  of  grape,  cannister,  and  wads,  for  barbette  guns 
should  be  kept  in  store  with  the  implements.  In  casemate  guns,  wads 
may  be  hung  in  bundles,  and  grape  and  cannister  near  the  guns.  Shot, 
•well  lacquered  and  clean,  may  be  placed  in  piles  near  the  guns.

ARTILLERY    PRACTICE. 

53.  At  all  posts  with  fixed  batteries,  the  position  of  every  gun,  mount- 
ed or  to  be  mounted,  will  have  its  number,  and  this  number  be  placed 
on  the  gun  when  in  position. 

54.  For  every  such  work  a  post-book  of  record  will  be  kept,  urwJer  the 
direction  of  the  commander  of  the  post,  in  which  will  be  duly  entered, 
the  number  of  each  mounted  gun,  its  calibre,  weight,  names  of  founder, 
and  its  inspector,'  and  other  marks  :  the  description  of  its  carriage  and 
date  of  reception  at  the  post;  where  from,  and  the  greatest  field  of  firo 
of  the  gun  in  its  position, 

55.  Every  commander  of  a  fort,  or  other  fixed  battery,  will,  before 
entering  on  artillery  practice,  carefully  reconnoitre,  and  cause  to  bo 
sketched  for  his  record  book,  the  water  channels,  with  their  soundings 
end  other  approaches  to  the  work,  .Bunys  or  marks  will  be  placed  at 
the  extreme  and  intermediate  ranges  of  "the  guns,  and  these  marks  be 
numerically  noted  on  the  sketch.  A  buoy  at  every  five  hundred  yards 
may  suflBce. 

56.  At  the  time  of  practice  a  distinct  and  careful  note  will  be  made 
for  the  record-book,  of  t;very  shot  or  shell  that  maybe  thrown,  desi<^ 
na^ting  the  guns  fired  by  their  numbers,  the  charges  of  powder  used,  t!?© 
time  of  flight  of  shots  and  shells,  the  ranges  and  ricochets,  and  the  po- 
sitions of  guns'  in  respect  to  the  horizontal  and  vartical  lines. 

57.  The  time  of  flight  of  a  shell  may  be  noted  with  sufficient  accuracy 
by  a  stop-M'iitch,  or  by  counting  the  beats  (prcviou.sly  nscCrtairiing  tbei?

the  time  of  Highi.  Other  modes. ascertaining  the  range  will  readily  oc- 
cur to  otfiecrs  of  science. 

58.  When  charged  shells  with  fnze  are  thrown,  the  time  of  bursting 
will  be  noted.  If  they  aje  intended  to  fall  on  land,  only  a  blowing 
charge  will  be  given  to  the  shells,  so  tiiat  they  may  be  picked  up  for 
furtlier  use.

niHiked  on  the  cartridges. 

1)0.  The  general  objects  of  this  practice  are,  to  give  to  ofScers  and 
men  the  ready  and  cflcctive  use  of  batteries  ;  to  preserve  on  record  the 
more  important  results  for  the  benefit  of  the  same,  or  future  command- 
ers, and  to  ascertain  the  efticiency  of  guns  and  carriages. 

01.  The  commanders  of  iield  artillery  will  also  keep  registers  of  their 
practice,  so  that  not  a  shut  or  shell  shall  be  thrown  in  the  !;rniy,  for  in- 
struction, without  distinct  objects,  such  as  range,  accuiacj'  of  aim,  num- 
ber of  ricochets,  time  of  bursting  in  the  case  of  shells,  &.c. 

02.  Tho  issue  of  blank  cartridges  f 'r  the  drill  and  instruction  of  the 
light  artillery  companies  will  be  autlu)rizcd  in  such  quantities  as  may  be 
necessary,  on  requisitions  duly  approved  by  the  proper  department. 

03.  For  artillery  there  will  be  three  annual  periods  of  practice  in 
firing,  viz  :  in  April,  June  and  October.  At  the  termination  of  each 
period  the  commanding  officers  of  posts  will  transmit  to  the  Adjutant- 
Ueneial  full  reports? of  the  results. 

0-1.  To  determine  accuracy  in  firing  shot  and  shell,  butts  or  targets 
will  be  used.     If  no  natural  butt  presents  itself,  targets  will  be  erected., 

05.  As  jiractice  in  gunnery  is  a  heavy  expense,  commanders  of  com* 
panics,  and  their  immediate  superiors,  are  charged  with  the  strict  execu- 
tion of  the  foregoing  details ;  and  all  oflicors  on  inspection  duty  will  re- 
port through  the  proper  channels,  upon  such  oxcution.

120.  When  a  company  is  detached  from  the  headqnarters  of  the  regi-

the  reginuMital  hea>iquarters  thrmigh  the  commanding  oilicor  of  the

of  tlie  candidate. 

127.  Ordnance  sergeants  will  be  assigned  to  posts  when  appointed,

12'.'.  The  olHcers  interested  mnt-t  be  aware,  fnim  the  nature  of  the 
duties  assigned  to  ordnance  sergi  anis,  that  the  judicious  selection  of 
them  is  of  no  small  importance  to  the  intcnests  of  the  service  ;  and  tiiat 
while  the  law  contemplates,  in  the  appointment  of  these  non-commis- 
sioned uffieors,  the  better  preservation  of  the  ordmince  and  ordnance 
stores  in  deposit  in  the  several  forls,  there  is  the  further  motive  of  of- 
fering a  reward  to  those  faithful  and  well-tried  sergeants  who  have  long 
served  their  country,  and  of  thus  {giving  encouragement  to  the  soldier 
in  the  ranks  to  emulate  them  in  conduct,  and  thereby  secure  suiistan- 
lial  promotion;     Colonels  and  captains  can  not,  therefore,  be  too  par-

from  their  rank,  and  by  regulation,  (see  Article  XXIX,)  are  entitled 
to  that  honor.  If  the  reviewing  officer  be  junior  in  rank  to  the  com- 
mandant of  the  parade,  no  compliment  will  be  paid  to  him,  but  he  will 
be  received  with  arms  carried,  and  the  officers  will  not  salute  as  the 
column  passes  in  review. 

341.  The  reviewing  officer  having  halted,  arid  acknowledged  the  sa-

342.  The  reviewing  officer  will  then  go  toward  the  right,  the  whole 
remaining  perfectly  steady,  without  paying  any  further  compliment, 
while  he  passes  along  the  front  of  the  battalion,  and  proceeds  round 
the  left  flank,  and  along  the  rear  of  the  file-closers,  to  the  right.  While 
the  rcjj^iewing  officer  is  going  round  the  battalion,  the  band  will  play, 
and  will  cease  when  he  has  returned  to  the  right  flank  of  the  troops.

ing officer. 

340.  The  Colonel,  •when  he  has  saluted  at  the  head  of  the  battalion, 
will  place  himself  near  the  reviewing  officer,  and  will  remain  there

beginning. 

352.  If,  however,  instructions  have  been  previously  given  to  march 
the  troops  past  in  quick  time,  also,  the  Colonel  will,  instead  of  chang- 
ing the  guides,  halting  the  column  and  wheeling  it  into  line,  as  above

same  manner  as  prescribed  above. 

353.  Tiie  Colonel  will  afterwards  cause  the  troops  to  perform  such 
exercises  and  manoeuvres  as  the  reviewing  officer  may  direct. 

354.  When  two  or  more  battalix)ns  are  to  be  reviewed,  they  will  be 
formed  in  parade  order,  with  the  proper  intervals,  and  will  also  per- 
form the  same  movements  that  arc  laid  down  for  a  single  battalion,  ob- 
serving the  additional  directions  that  are  given  for  such  movements 
when  applied  to  the  line.  The  Brigadier  General  and  his  staff,  on  f.^ot,

on  his  right,  and  one  retired;  and  the  other  brigade  staff  officers,  those 
having  the  rank  of  field  dfflccrs,  in  the  rank  of  Lieutenant-Colonels  and 
Majors,  and  those  below  that  rank.  in.  the  rank  of  company  officers. 

355.  In  passing  in  review,  a  Major-General  will  be  four  paces  in 
front  of  the  Colwnel  of  the  leading  battalion  of  his  division,  and  the 
Brigadier-General  will  be  on  the  right  of  the  Colonels  of  the  leading 
battalions  of  their  brigades  ;  staff  officers  on  the  left  of  their  Generals. 

356.  When  the  line  exceeds  two  battalions,  the  reviewi,ng  officer  may 
cause  them  to  march  past  in  quick  time  only.  In  such  cases,  the 
mounted  officers  only  will  salute. 

357.  A  number  of  companies  less  than  a  battalion  will  be  reviewed 
as  a  battalion,  and  a  single  company  as  if  it  were  with  the  battalion. 
In  the  latter  case,  the  company  may  pass  in  column  or  platoons. 

358.  If  several  brigades  ai'*  to  be  reviewed  together,  or  in  one  line, 
this  further  difference  will  be  observed:  the  reviewing  personage, 
joined  by  the  General  of  the  division,  on  the  right  of  his  division,  will 
proceed  down  the  line,  parallel  to  its  front,  and  when  near  the  Briga- 
dier-Generals respectively,  will  be  saluted  by  their  brigades  in  succes- 
sion. The  musjc  of  each,  after  the  prescribed  salute,  will  play  while 
the  reviewing  personage  is  in  front,  or  in  rear  of  it,  and  only,  then. 

359.  In  marching  in  review,  with  several  battalions  in  common  time, 
the  music  of  each  succeeding  battalion  will  comm€nce  to  play  when  the 
music  of  the  preceding  one  has  ceased,  in  order  to  follow  its  battalion. 
When  marching  in  quick  time,  the  music  will  begin  to  play  when  the 
rear  company  of  the  preceding  battalion  has  passed  the  reviewing  of- 
ficer. 

360.  The  reviewing  officer  or  nersonage  will  acknowledge  the  saluto 
by  raising,  or  taking  off  his  cap  or  hat,  when  the  commander  of  the 
troops  salutes  him  ;  and  also  when  the  colors  pass.  The  remainder  of 
the  time  occupied  by  the  passage  of  tlie  troops  he  will  be  covered. 

361.  The  review  of  cavalry  and  artillery  will  be  conducted  on  similar 
principles,  and  according  to  the  systems  of  instruction  for  those  arms  of 
the  service. 

III.     GUARD-MOUNTING. 

362.  Camp  and  garrison  guards  will  be  relieved  every  twenty-four 
hours.  Tlie  guards  at  outposts  will  ordinarily  be  relieved  in  the  same 
manner  ;  but  this  must  depend  on  their  distances  from  camp,  or  other 
circumstances,  which  may  sometimes  require  their  continuing  on, duty 
several  days.  In  such  cases  they  must  !  >«previously  warned  to  pro- 
vide themselves  accordingly. 

363.  At  the  first  call  for -guard-mounting,  the  men  warned  for  duty 
turn  out  on  their  company  parades  for  inspection  by  the  First  Ser- 
geants; an,d  at  the  second  call,  repair  to  the  regimental  or  garrison 
parade,  conducted  by  the  First  Sergeants.  Each  detachment,  as  it  ar- 
rives, will,  under  the  direction  of  the  Adjutant,  take  post  on  the  left  of 
the  one  that  preceded  it,  in  open  order,  arms  shouldered  and  bayonets 
fixed  ;  the  supernumeraries  five  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  men  of  their 
respective  companies  ;  the  First  Sergeants  in  the  rear  of  them.  The 
Sergeant-Major  will  dress  the  ranks,  count  the  files,  verify  the  details.

fer no  person  to  come  nearer  than  within  reach  of  his  bayonet,  until  the 
person  has  given  the  countersign.

ARTICLE  XXXVI. 

TEOOPS  IN   CAMPAIGN. 

ORGANIZATION   OP   AN   ARMY    IN    THE    FIELD. 

461.  ^he  formation  by  divisions  is  the  basis  of  the  organization  and' 
administration  of  armies  in  the  field. 

462.  A  division  consists  usually  of  two  or  three  brigades,  eitlier  of 
infantry  or  cavalry,  and  troops  of  other  corps  in  the  necessary  propor- 
tion. 

463.  A  brigade  is  formed  of  two  or  more  regiments.  She  first  num- 
ber takes  the  right. 

464.  Mixed  brigades  are  sometimes  formed  of  infantry  and  light  cav- 
alry, especially  for  the  advance  guards. 

465.  As  the  troops  arrive  at  tbe  rendezvous,  the  general  commanding- 
in-chief  will  organize  them  into  brigades  and  divisions. 

•  466.  The  light  cavalry  is  employed  as  flankers  altvci  partizans,  and 
generally  for  all  service  out  of  the  line. 

467.  Heavy  cavalry  belongs  to  the  reserve,  and  is  covered,  when  ne- 
cessary, in  marches,  camps,  or  bivouacs,  by  light  troops,  or  infantry  of 
the  line. 

^  468.  The  arrangement  of  the  troops  on  parade  and  in  order  of  battle 
IS— Ist,  the  light  infantry  ;  2d,  infantry  of  the  line ;  3d,  light  cavalry  ; 
4th,  cavalry  of  the  line;  5th,  heavy  cavalry.  The  troops  of  the  artil- 
lery and  engineers  are  in  the  centre  of  the  brigades,  divisions,  or  corps 
to  which  they  are  attached  ;  marines  take  the  left  of  other  infantry; 
volunteers  and  militia  take  the  left  of  regular  troops  of  the  same  arm] 
and  among  themselves,  regiments  of  volunteers  or  mUitia  of  the  same 
arm  take  place  by  lot.  This  arrangement  is  varied  by  the  general  com- 
manding in-chief,  as  the  circumstances  of  war  render  expedient. 

469.  Brigades  in  divisions,  and  divisions  in  the  army,  are  numbered 
tromright  to  left;  but  in  reports  of  military  operations,  bri-^ades  and

_  471.  The  general  commanding-in-chief  assigns  the  generals  of  divi- 
sions  and  of  brigades  to  their  respective  commands,  when  the  asstn 
ment  IB  not  made  by  the  Department  of  War.  ^ 

472.  rb«  general  of  brigade  inspects  his  troops  in  detail  bv  comna- 
mee,  when  he  takes  the  command  aSd  at  the  opeSing  of  the  cLvaign,

i\nJ  as  often  as  may  be  necessary  to  ascertain  exactly  their  condition. 
The  general  of  division  makes  simil.ir  inspeotions  when  lie  thinks  pro- 
per. At  these  inspections  the  j^enerals  examine  the  arms,  ointhing, 
equipments,  harness,  horses,  &o  ;  direet  the  necessary  repairn,  and  de- 
signate the  men  and  horses  to  remain  in  depot,  or  march  with  the  train. 

473.  Reports  of  inspections  are  made  hy  the  general  of  brigade  to 
(he  general  of  division,  and  by  the  general  of  division  to  the  general 
CO  in  man  ding-in -chief. 

474.  Daring  marches  and  all  active  operations,  generals  of  brigade 
keep  themselves  exactly  informed,  b.'  reports  of  corps  and  by  their  in- 
ppections,  of  the  acinal  strength  of  the  regiments,  so  as  always,  and 
especially  after  an  engagrmcnt,  to  make  accurate  returns  to  the  general 
uf  division. 

47o.  Staff  officers  and  officers  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  according 
to  the  nature  of  the  Rervice,  are  assigned  to  the  headquarters  of  ar- 
mies and  divisions,  and  detached  brigades,  by  order  of  the  general  coni- 
mandingin-chief,  when  the  distribution  of  these  officers  has  not  been 
regulated  by  the  War  Department.  The  necessary  staff  will  be  assign- 
ed to  commanders  of  Iw-igades. 

470.  When  an  Engineer  or  other  officer  is  charged  with  directing  an 
expedition  or  making  a  reconnoisance,  without  having  command  of  the 
escort,  the  commander  of  thj  escort  shall  consult  him  on  all  the  arrange- 
ments necessary  to  secure  the  success  of  the  operation. 

477.  Staff  officers,  and  commanders  of  engineers,  and  artillery,  re- 
port to  their  immediate  commanders  tlto  state  of  the  supplies,  and  what- 
ever concerns  the  service  under  their  direction,  and  receive  their  orders, 
and  communicate  to  them  those  they  receive  from  their  superiors  in 
th«ir  own  C(^rps. 

475.  The  senior  nffieer  of  engineers,  of  artillery,  and  the  departments 
of  the  general  staff  serving  at  the  chief  headquarters  in  the  field,  will 
transmit  tn  the  bureau  of  his  department  at  Richmond,  at  the  close  of 
tiie  campaign,  and  such  other  times  as  the  cimimander  in  the  field  may 
approve,  a  full  report  of  the  operations  of  his  department,  and  what- 
ever information  to  improve  its  service  he  may  be  able  to  furnish. 

The  report  yf  the  ofticer  of  engineers  will  embrace  plans  of  military 
works  executed  during  the  campaign,  and,  in  case  of  siege,  a  journal  of 
the  attack  or  deCence. 

CONTRIBUTIONS.

ORDERLIES. 

480  At  the  opening  of  a  campaign,  the  comriiander  of  an  army  de- 
termines an*  announces  in  orders  the  number  of  ..rderlies.  mounted  or 
f  ,„t  for  the  Generals,  and  the  corps  or  reg.ment^  hy  which  they  are  to 
be  supplied,  and  the  periods  at  which,  they  shall  be  relieved. 

4,S1.  In  marches,  the  mounted  orderlies  follow  the  Geacrals.  and 


'52  DEPOTS — CAMl'*. 

perform  the  duty  of  escorts,  or  march  with  or<1evlies  on  foot  at  the  heftd 
of  the  division  or  brigade. 

482.  The  staff  officer  who  distributes  the  orderlies  to  their  posts  sends 
with  them  a  note  of  the  time  and  place  of  departure  ;  those  relieved 
receive  a  like  note  from  the  staff  officer  at  headquarters. 

483.  Mounted  soldiers  are  to  be  employed  to  crtrry  dispatches  only  in 
special  and  urgent  cases. 

484.  The  precise  time  when  the  dispatch  is  sent  off,  and  the  rate  at 
which  it  is  to  be  conveyed,  are  to  be  written  clearly  on  the  covers  of  all 
letters  transmitted  by  a  mounted  orderly,  and  the  necessary  instriie- 
tions  to  him,  and  the  rate  of  travel  going  and  returning,  are  to,  be  dis- 
tinctly explained  to  him, 

DEPOTS,  ? 

485.  The  grand  depots  of  an  army  are  established  Vhere  the  military 
operations  would  not  expose  them  to  be  brcken  up.  Smaller  depots  are 
organized  for  the  divisions  and  the  several  arms.  They  are  command- 
ed by  officers  temporarily  disabled  for  field  service,  or  by  other  officers 
when  necessary,  and  comprise,  as  much  as  possible,  the  hospitals  and 
depots  for  convalescents.  When  conveniently  placed,  they  serve  as 
points  for  the  halting  and  assembling  of  detachments.  They  receive 
the  disabled  from  the  corps  on  the  march  ;  and  the  officers  in  command 
of  the  depots  send  with  the  detachments  to  the  army  those  at  the  depots 
who  have  become  fit  for  service^ 


486.  Camp  is  the  place  were  troops  are  established  in  tents,  in  hute, 
or  in  bivouac.     Cantonments  are  the   inhabited  places  which    troops* 
occupy  for  shelter  when  not  put  in   b.arracks.     The  camping-party  is  a 
detachment  detailed  to  prepare  a  camp. 

487.  Reconnoissances  should  precede  the  establishment  of  the  camp. 
For  a  camp  of  troops  on  the  march,  it  is  only  necessai'y  to  look  to  tlie 
health  andcomfort  of  the  troops,  the  facility  of  the  communications, 
the  convenience  of  wood  and  water,  and  the  resources  in  provisiuns  and 
forage.  The  ground  for  an  intrenched  camp,  or  a  .camp  to  cover  a 
country,  or  one  designed  to  deceiva  the  enemy  as  to  the  strength  of 
the  army,  must  be  selected,  and  the  camp  arranged  for  the  object  in 
view.  -

separately  or  together,  and  whether  the  police  guard  shall  accompany 
the.  camping-party,  or  a  larger  escort  shall  be  sent.

by  thb  catnping-party  over  the  water  if  it  is  scarce,  and  over  the  houses 
and  stores  of  provisions  and  forage  in  the  vicinity. 

492.  If  the  camping-party  does  not  precede  the  regiment,  the  Quar- 
termaster attends  to  tlicso  things  as  soon  as  the  regiment  reaches  the 
camp. 

403.  On  reaching  the  ground,  tho  infantry  form  on  the  color  front;

dier Generals  to_  the  (Jolonels,  and  by  Jthom  to  the  field  officers — the 
A<1Jiitant  and  Captains  formed  in  front  of  tho  regiment,  the  First  Ser- 
geants taking  post  bcliind  their  Captains.  Tho  Adjutant  then  makes 
the  details,  and  the  First  Sergeants  warn  the  men.  The  regin)ental 
officer  of  the  day  forms  the  picket,  and  sends  the  guards  to  their  posts.

are  stacked  on  the  line  ;  the  fatigue  parties  to  procure  supplies,  and  the 
working  parties  form  in  rear  of  the  arms  ;  the  men  not  op  detail  pitch

496.  If  the  camp  is  near  the  enemy,  the  picket  remains"  under  arms 
until  the  return  of  tho  fatigue  parties,  and,  if  necessary,  is  reinforced 
by  details  from  each  company. 

'497.  In  tho  cavalry,  each  troop  moves  a  little  in  rear  of  the  point  at 
which  its  horses  are  to  be  secured,  and  forms  in  one  rank;  the  men  then

meaning  when  applied  to  camps  as  to  the  order  of  battle. 

500.  The  front  of  the  camp  is  usually  equal  to  the  front  of  the  tioops. 
The  tents  are  arranged  in  rariks  and  files.  The  nvimbcr  of  ranks  varies 
with  the  strength  of  the  companies  and  the  size  of  the  tents.

508.  The  advanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  about  200  paces  in 
front  of  the  color  line,  and  opposite  the  centre  of  the  regiment,  or  on  the 
best  ground  ;  the  prisoners'  tent  about  four  paces  in  rear.  In  a  regi- 
ment of  the  second  line,  the  advanced  post  of  the  police  guard  is  200 
paces  in  rear  of  the  line  of  its  field  and  staff. 

509.  The  horses  of  the  staff  ofBcers  and  of  the  baggage  train  are 
twenty-five  paces  in  rear  of  the  tents  of  the  field  and  staff;  the  wagons 
are  parked  on  the  same  line,  and  the  men  of  the  train  camped  near 
them. 

510.  The  sinks  of  the  men  are  150  paces  in  front  of  the  color  line — 
those  of  the  olHcers  100  paces  in  rear  of  the  train.  Both  are  concealed 
by  bushes.  When  convenient,  the  sinks  of  the  men  way  be  placed  in 
the  rear  or  on  the  flank.  A  porii>on  of  the  earth  dug  out  for  sinks  to  bo 
thrown  back  occasionally. 

511.  The  front  of  the  camp  of  a  regiment  of  1000  mexi  in  two  ranks- 
will  be  400  paces,  or  oue-fiftli  less  paces  than  the  number  of  files,  if  the 
camp  is  to  have  the  same  front  as  the  troops  in  order  of  battle.  But 
•the  front  may-be  reduced  to  190  paces  Ify  narrowing  the  company 
streets  to  five  paces  ;  and  if  it  be  desirable  to  reduce  the  front  still  more, 
the  tents  of  companies  may  bo  pitched  in  single  file — those  of  a  division 
facing  on  the  same  street. 

,  C.\WP   OF  CWALRY. 

512.  In  the  Rivalry,  each  company  has  one  file  of  tents — th«  tents 
opening  on  the  street  facing  the  left  uf  the  camp. 

51^.  The  horses  of  each  company  are  placed  in  a  single  file,  facing 
the  opening  of  the  tents,  and  are  fastened  to  pickets  planted  firmly  in 
the  ground,  from  three  to  six  paces  from  the  tents  of  the  troops. 

514.  The  interval  between  the  file  of  tents  should  be  such,  that,  the 
regiment  being  broken  into  column  of  companies,  each  company  should 
be  on  the  extension  of  the  line  on  which  the  horses  are  to  be  picketed. 

515.  The  streets  separating  the  squadrons  are  wider  than  th;)se 
between  the  companies  by  the  interval  separating  squadrons  in  line  ; 
these  intervals  are  kept  free  from  any  obstruction  throughout  the 
camp.  •  . 

516.  The  horses  of  the  refj'r  rank  are  placed  oa  the  left  of  those  of 
their  file  leaders.

CAMP   OF    ARTILI.ERT. 

525.  The  artillery  is  encamped  near  the  troops  to  which  it  is  attached, 
80  as^to  be  protected  from  attack,   and   to  contribute  to  the  defence  of  • 
the  camp.     Sentinels  for  the  park  arc  furnished   by  the  artillery,  and, 
when  necessary,  by  the  o'ther  troops. 

.  520.  For  a  battery  of  six  pieces,  the  tents  are  in  three  files — one  for 
each  jection  ;  distance  between  .  the  ranks  of  tents,  15  paces;  tents 
opening  to  the  front.  The  horses  o.f  each  sectifin  are  picketed  in  one 
file,  10  paces  to  tiie  left  of  the  file  of  tents.  In  the  horse  artillery,  or  if 
the  number  of  horses  makes  it  necessary,  the  horses  are  in  twn  files,  on 
the  right  and  left  of  tlfe  file  of  tents.  The  kitchens  are  25  paces  in 
front  of  the  front  rank  of  tents.  The  tents  of  the  officers  are  in  the 
*«tside  files  of  company  tents,  25  paces  in  the  rear  of  the  rear  rank — 
the  Captain  on  the  right,  the  Lieutenants  on  the  left. 

527.  The  park  is  opposite  the  centre  of  the  camp,  40  paces  in  rear  of

the  men  150  paces  in  front;  for  the  officers  100  pncoe  in  the  rear.  The 
harness  is  in  the  tents  of  the  men. 

BIVOUACS. 

528.  A  regiment  of  cavalry  being  in  order  of  battle,  in  rear  of  the 
gr(  und  to  be  ociupied,  the  Colonel  breaks  it  by  platoons  to  the  right. 
The  iiorses  of  oacli  platoon  are  placed  in  a  single  row,  and  fastened  as 
prescribed  for  camps  ;  near  tlio  enemy,  they  remain  saddled  all  night, 
with  slackened  girths.  The  arms  are  at  first  stacked  in  rear  of  each 
rpw  of  horses,  the  sabres,  with  the  bridles  hung  on  tlicm,  arc  placed 
against  the  stacks. 


56  bANTONMBNTS. 

529.  The  forage  is  placed  on  the  right  of  each  row  of  horses.  Two 
stable-guards  for  each  platoon  watch  the  horses. 

530.  A  fire  for  each  platoon  is  made  near  the  color  line,  20  paces  to 
the  left  of  the  row  of  horses.  A  shelter  is  made  for  the  men  around 
the  fire,  if  possible,  and  each  man  then  stands  his  arms  and  bridle 
against  the  shelter.. 

531.  The  iires  and  shelter  for  the  officers  are  placed  in  rear  of  the 
line  of  those  for  the  men. 

532.  The  intervals  between  the  squadrons  must  be  without  obstruc- 
tion throughout  the  whole  depth  of  the  bivouac. 

533.  Tiie  interval  between  the  shelters  should  be  such  that  the  pla- 
toons can  take  up  a  line  of  battle  freely  to  the  front  or  rear. 

534.  The  distance  from  the  enemy  decides  the  manner  in  which  the 
horses  are  to  be  fed  and  led  to  water.  When  it  is  permitted  to  unsad- 
dle, the  saddles  are  placed  in  the  rear  of  the  horses. 

535.  In  infantry,  the  fires  are  made  in  rear  of  the  color  Ihie,  on  the 
ground  that  would  be  occupied  by  the  tents  in  camp.  The  companies 
are  placed  around  them,  and,  it'  possible,  construct  shelters.  "When 
licible  to  surprise,  the  infantry  should  stand  to  arms  at  daybreak,  and 
the  cavalry  mount  until  the  return  of  the  reconnoitering  parties.  If 
the  arms  are  to  be  taken  ttpart  to  clean,  it  mupc  bo  done  by  detach- 
ments, auccessively. 

CANTONMENTS. 

53C.  The  cavalry  should  be  placed  under  shelter  whenever  the  dis- 
tance from  the  enemy,  and  from  the  ground  where  the  troops  are  to 
form  for  battle,  permit  it.  Taverns  and  farn^ houses,  with  large  stables 
and  free  access,  are  selected  for  quartering  them. 

537.  The  Colonel  indicates  the  place  of  assembling  in  case  of  alarm. 
It  should  generally  b^.outside  the  cantonment ;  the  egress  from  it  Should 
be  free,  the  retreat  upon  the  other  positions  secure,  and  roads  leading 
to  it  on  the  side  of  the  enemy  obstructed. 

538.  The  necessary  orders  being  given,  as  in  establishing  a  camp,  the 
picket  and  grand  guards  are  posted.  A  sentinel  may  be  placed  on  a 
steeple  or  high  house,  and  then  the  troops  are  marched  to  the  quarters. 
The  men  sleep  in  the  stables,  if  it  is  thought  necessary. 

539.  The  above  applies  in  the  main  to  infantry.  Near  the  enemy, 
companies  or  platoons  should  be  collected,  as  much  as  possible,  in  the 
s^me  houses.  If  companies  must  be  separated,  they  should  be  di\ided 
by  platoons  or  squads.     All  take  arms  at  daybreak. 

540.  WheQ  cavalry  and  infantry  canton  together,  the  latter  furnish 
the  guards  by  night,  and  the  former  by  day. 

541.  Troops  cantoned  in  presence  of  the  enemy,  should  be  covered 
by  advanced  guards  and  natural  or  artificial  obstacles-  Cantonments 
taken  during  a  cessation  of  hostilities,  should  be  established  in  rear  of 
a  line  of  defence,  and  in  front  of  the  point  on  which  the  troops  would 
concentrate  to  receive  an  attack.  The  General  commanding-in-chief 
assigns  the  iimits  of  their  cantonments  to  the  divisions,  the  commau' 
ders  of  divisions  to, brigades,  and  the  commanders  of  brigades  post 
their  regiments.  ..  The  position  for  each  corps  in  ease  of  attack  is  care- 
fully pointed  out  by  the  Generals. 


llKAU(^LlAR'ri;i>t> — 1SSUK8.  57 

IIKADQUAKTERS. 

542.  Generals  take  post  at  tlie  centre  of  their  comniftuds,  on  tlie  mnin 
chai^els  of  coninninication.  If  troops  bivouac  in  presence  of  the  en- 
emy, the  Generals  bivouac  with  them. 

MILITARY  EXERCISES. 

543.  When  troops  remain  in  camp  or  cantonment  many  days,  the 
Colo*iels  reqiiiro  thcni  to  be  exercised  in  the  school  of  the  battalion  :.nd 
isquadron.  Jle^inients  and  brigades  encamped  by  division  are  not  uni- 
ted for  drills  without  tlie  permission  of  the  General  of  division.  The 
troops  must  not  be  exercised  at  the  firings  without  the  authority  of  the 
General  Commanding-in  chief-  The  piactice  of  the  drums  must  never 
bei:;in  witl)  the  "'^^eneral,"  or  the  "  march  of  the  ret,Mment ;"  nor  the 
trumpets  with  the  sound  "  to  horse."  The  hour  for  practice  is  always 
announced. 


544.  In  the  field,  verbal  orders  and  important  sealed  orders  are  car- 
ried by  officers,  and,  if  possible,  by  staff  officers.  When  orders  are 
carried  by  orderlies,  the  place  and  time  of  departure-will  be  marked  on 
them,  and  place  and  time  of  delivery  on  the  receipt. 

DISPATCUES. 

545.  Dispatches,  particularly  for  distant  corps,  should  be  entrusted 
only  t»  officers  to  whom  their  contents  can  bo  confided.  In  a  country 
occupied  by  the  enemy,  the  bearer  of  dispatches  should  be  accompanied 
by  at  least  two  of  the  best  mounted  men  ;  should  avoid  townsund  vil- 
lages, .ind  the  main  roads;  rest  as  little  as  possible,  and  only  at  out  of- 
the  wiiy  places.  Where  there  is  danger,  he  should  send  one  of  'he  men 
in  advance,  ai.d  be  always  ready  to  destroy  his  dispatches.  He  should 
1)0  adroit  in  answering  questions  about  the  army,  and  not  be  intimida- 
ted by  threats. 

♦  WAlCinVORDS. 

546.  The  parole  and  countersign  are  issued  daily  from  the  principal 
headquarters  of  the  command.     The  countersHgn  is  given  to  the  senti- 

^nels  and  non-c.immissioned  officers  of  the  guards;  the  parole  to  the 
commissioned  (  fficers  of  guards.  The  parole  is  usually  the  name  of  a 
General  ;  the  countersigrr  of  a  battle.  .    - 

547.  When  tha  parole  and  countersign  cnnnoL  lie  c<'mmunicated  daily 
to  a  post  or  detnchn»ent  which  ought  to  u'C  tlje  ^ame  as  the  main  body, 
a  series  of  worJs  may  be  sent  for  somo.daja  tn  advance.   . 

548.  If  the  countersign  is  lost,  or  one  of-  the  guard  deserts  with  it, 
the  commander  on  the  spot  will  substitute  another,  and  report  the  case 
at  once  to  the  proper  superior,  that  immediate  notice  may  be  given  to 
headquarters. 

ISSUES. 

540.  At  wh^t  time  and' for  what  period  issues  are  made,  must  depend 
on  circumstances,  and  be  regulated  in  orders.  When  an  army  is  not 
moving,  rations  are  generally  issued  fi)r  four  days  at  a  time.  Issues  to 
the  companies  of  a  regiment,  and  the  fatigues  to  receive  them,  are  gu- 


58  ROSTER. 

perintended  by  an  ofiRcer  detailed  from  the  jegiment.  Issues  are  made 
from  one  end  of  the  line  to  the  other,  beginning  on  the  right  and  left 
alternately.  An  issue  commenced  on  one  regiment  will  not  be  iiiter- 
rupted  for  another  entitled  to  precedence  if  it  had  been  in  place. 

THE    ROSTER,   OR   DETAILS   FOR   SERVICE. 

550.  The  duties  performed  by  detail  are  of  three  classes.  The  Jirst 
class  comprises,  1st,  grand  guards  and  outposts;  2d,  interior  guards,  as 

-of  magazine,  hospital,  &c. ;  3d,  orderlies  ;  4th,  police  guards. 

The  second  class  comprises,  1st,  detachments  to  protect  laborers  on 
military  works,  as  field  works,  communications,  &c. ;  2d,  working  par- 
ties on  such  works  ;  3d,  detachments  to  protect  fotigues. 

The  tJiird  class  are  all  fatigues,  without  arms,  in  or  out  of  camp. 

In  the'cavalry,  stable  guards  form  a  separate  roster,  and  count  before 
fatigue. 

551.  The  rosters  are  distinct  for  each  class.  ,  Oflicers  are  named  on 
them  in  the  order  of  rank.  The  details  are  taken  in  succession  in  the 
order  of  the,i'oster,  beginning  at  the  head. 

552.  Lieutenants  form  one  roster,  and  First  and  Second  Lieutenants 
are  entered  on  it  alternately.  The  senior  First  Lieutenant  is  the  first 
on  the  roster;  the  senior  Second  Lieutenant  is  the  second,  &c.  The 
Captains  form  one  roster,  and  are  exempt  from  fatigues,  except  to  su- 
perintend issues.  A  captain  commanding  a  battalion  temporarily  is 
exempt  from  detail,  and  duty  falling  to  him  passes.  Lieutenant-Colo- 
nels and  Majors  are  on  one  roster.  They  may  be  detailed  for  duties 
of  the  first  and  second  classes,  when  the  importance  of  the  guai'ds  and 
detachments  requires  it.     Their  roster  is  kept  at  division  and  brigade 

•headquarters.     In   the   company,  Sergeants,    Cjarporals,  and  privates 
form  diistinct  rosters. 

553.  Officers,  non-commissioned  ofiicers,  and  soldiers  take  duties  of 
the  first  class  in  the  order  stated,  viz  :  the  first  for  the  detail,  takes  the 
grand  guards  ;  the  next,  the  interior  guards  ;  tiie  last,  the  police  guards  ; 
and  the  same  rule  in  regard  to  tlie  details  and  duties  of  the  second 
class.  In  the  details  for  the  third  class,  the  senior  ofiicer  takes  the 
largest  party.     The  party  first  for  detail  takes  the  service  out  of  camp. 

554.  When  the  ofiicer  whose  tour  it  is,  is  not  able  to  take  it,  or  is  not 
present  at  the  hour  of  marching,  the  next  after  him  takes  it.  When  a  . 
guard  has-passed  ^he  chain  of  sentinels,  or  an'iiiterior  guard  has  reached 
its  post,  the  ofiicer  whose  tour  it  was  cannot  then  take  it.  He  takes  the 
tour  of  the  officer  who  has  taken  his.  When  an  officer  is  prevented  by 
sickness  from  taking  his  tour,  it  passes.  These  rules  apply  equally  to 
non-commissioned  ofiicers  and  soldiers. 

555.  Duties  of  the  first  and  second  classes  arc  credited  on  the  roster 
when  the  guards  or  detachments  have  passed  the  chain  of  sentinels,  or 
an  interior  guard  has  renched  its  post;  fatigue  duties  when  ^le  parties 
have  passed  the  chain  or  begun  the  duties  in  camp. 

55G.  Every  officer,  non-commissioned  officer,  or  soldier  on  duty  of  the 
firat  class,  or  who  is  of  the  next  detail  for  such  duty,  takes,  wlien  re- 
lieved, the  duty  of  the  second  or^third  class  that  has  fallen  to  him  du- 
ring tliat  time,  unless  he  has  marched  for  detachment  of  more  than 
twenty-four  hours. 

657.  Soldiers  march  with  knapsacks  on  all  duties  of  the  first  class ;

tlie  camp,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  In  Uie  cavalry,  horses  are  packed 
fur  all  mounted  service. 

5n8.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men,  and  those  whose  horses  are  not 
in  order,  arc  preferred  for  the  detail  fur  dismounted  service.  Those 
who  are  mounted  arc  never  employed  on  those  services,  if  the  number 
of  the  other  class  are  sufficient. 

559.  Every  non  commissioned  officer  and  soldier  in  the  cavalry  de- 
tailed for  dismounted  service  must,  before  ho  marche.'',  take  to  the  First 
Sergeant  of  tlie  troop,  or  Sergeant  of  his  squad,  his  horse  equipments 
and  his  valise  ready  packed.  In  case  of  alarm,  the  First  Sergeant  seea 
that  the  horses  of  these  men  are  equipped  and  led  to  the  rendezvous. 

560.  These  rules  in  regard  to  the  roster  apply  also  to  service  in  gar- 
rison. ' 

POLICE   GUARD.  ' 

501.  In  each  regiment  a  police  guard  is  detailed  every  day,  consist- 
ing of  two  Sergeants,  three  Corporals,  two  drummers,  and  men  enough 
to  furnish  the  required  sentinels  and  patrols.  The  men  are  taken  from 
nil  the  companies,  from  each  in  proportion  to  its  strength.  The  guard 
is  commanded  by  a  Lieutenant,  under  the  supervision  of  a  Captain,  as 
regimental  tifficer  of  the  day.  It  furnishbs  ten  sentinels  at  the  camp; 
one  over  the' arms  of  the  guard;  one  at  the  Colonel'^  tent ;  three  on 
the  color  front— one  of  them  over  tlie  colors;  three,  fifty  paces  in  rear 
of  the  field  c  fficers'  tents  ;  and  (me  on  each  flank,  between  it  and  the 
next  regiment.  If  it  is  a  flank  regiment,  one  more  sentinel  is  posted  on 
the  outer  flank. 

5G2.  An  advanced  post  is  detached  from  the  police  guard,  composed 
of  a  Sergeant,  a  Corporal,  a  drummer,  and  nine  men  to  furnish  senti- 
nels and  the  guard  over  the  prisoners.  The  men  are  first  of  the  guard 
roster  from  each  company.  The  men  of  the  advanced  post  must  not 
leave  it  under  any  pretext.  Their  meals  are  sent  to  the  post.  The  ad- 
vanced post  furrjshes  three  sentinels;  two  a  few  paces  in  front  of  the 
post,  opposite  the-right  and  left  wing  of  the  regiment,  posted  so  as  to 
see  as  far  as  possible  to  the  front,  and  one  over  the  arms. 

5Go.  In  the  cavalry,  dismounted  men  are  employed  in  preference  on 
the  police  guard.  The  mounted  men  on  guard  are  sent  in  succession, 
:i  part  at  a  time,  to  groom  their  horses.  The  advanced  post  is  always 
formed  oi  mounted  men. 

5(J4.  In  each  company,  a  Corporal  has  charge  of.  the  stable-guard. 
His  tour  begins  at  retreat,  and  ends  at  morniiig  stable-call.  The  stable- 
guard  is  large  enough  to  relieve  the  men  n  post  every  two  hours.  They 
sleep  \n  their  tents,  and  are  called  by  the  Curporal  when  wanted.  At 
retreat  he  clones  the*  streets  of  the  camp  with  cords,  or  uses  other  pre- 
cautions to  prevent  the  escape  of  loose  horses. 

5G5.  The  officer  of  the  day  is  charged  with  the  order  and  cleanliness 
of  the  camp  ;  a  fatigue  is  furnisiied  to  him  when  the  number  ot  pris- 
oners is  insufficient  to  clean  the  camp.  He  has  the  calls  beaten  by  the 
drummer  of  the  guard. 

5GG.  The  police  guard  and  the  advanced  post  pay  the  same  honors  as 
other  guards.    They  take  arms  when  an  armed  body  approaches. 

567.  The  sentinel  over  the  colors  has  orders  not  to  permit  them  to 


60  POLICE    GUARD. 

be  moved,  except  in  presence  of  an  escort :  to  let  no  one  touch  them 
but  the  color-bearer,  or  the  Sergeant  of  the  police  guard  -when  he  is 
accompanied  by  two  armed  men. 

668.  The  sentinels  on  the  color  Jront  permit  no  soldier  to  take  arms 
from  the  stacks,  except  hj  order  of  some  officer,  or  a  non-commissioned 
officer  of  the  guard.  The  sentinel  at  the  Colonel's  tent  has 'orders  to 
•warn  him,  day  or  night,  ot  any  unusual  movement  in  or  about  the  camp. 

569.  The  sentinels  on  the  front,  flanks,  and  rear,  see  that  no  soldier' 
leaves  camp  with  horse  or  arms,  unless  conducted  by  a  non-commis- 
sioned officer.  They  prevent  non-commissioned  officers  and  soldiers 
from  passing  out  at  night,  except  to  go  to  the  sinks,  and  mark  if  they 
return.  They  arrest,  at  any  time,  suspicious  persons  prowling  about  the 
camp ;  and  at  ni<;ht,  every  one  who  attempts  to  enter,  even  the  soldiers 
of  other  corps.  Arrested  persons  are  sent  to  the  officer  of  the  guard, 
who  sends  them,  if  necessary,  to  the  officer  of  the  day. 

570.  The  sentinels  on  the  front  of  the  advanced  po^st  have  orders  to 
permit  neither  non-commissioned  officers  or  soldiers  to  pass  the  line, 
■without  reporting  ai'  the  advanced  post  ;  to  warn  the  advanecd  post  of 
the  approach  of  any  armed  body,  and  to  arrest  all  suspicious  persons. 
The  Sergeant  sends  persons  so  arrested  to  the  officer  of  the  guard,  and 
warns  him  of  the  approach  of  any  armed  body: 

571.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms  at  the  advanced  post  guards  the 
prisoners  and  keeps  sight  of  them,  and  suffers  no  one  tu  converse  with 
them  without  permission.  .  They  are  only  permitted  to  go  to  the  sinks 
one  at  a  time,  and  under  a  sentinel. 

572.  If  any  one  is  to  be  passed  out  of  camp  at  night,  the  officer  of  the 
guard  sends  him  under  escort  to  the  advanced  post,  and  the  Sergeant 
of  the  post  has  him  passed  over  the  chain, 

573.  At  retreat,  the  officer  of  the  guard  has  the  roll  of  his  guard 
called,  and  inspect  arms,  to  sec  that  they  are  loaded  and  in  order  ;  and 
visits  the  advanced  post  for  the  same  purpose.  The  Sergeant  of  the 
police  gunrd,  accompanied  by  two  armed  soldiers,  folds  the  culcrs  and 
lays  them  on  the  trestle  in  the  rear  of  the  arms.  He  sees  tliat  the  sut- 
ler's stores  are  closed,  and  the  men  leave  them,  and  that  the  kitchen 
fires  are  put  ont  at  the  appointed  hour. 

574.  The  officer  oi' the  day  satisfies  himself  frequently  during  the 
night  of  the  vigilance  of  the  police  guard  and  advanced  post.  He 
prescribes  patrols  and  rounds  to  be  made  by  the  officer  and  non  com- 
missioned officers  of  the  guard.  The  officer  of  the  guard  orders  them 
when  he  thinks  necessary.     He  visits  the  sentinels  frequently. 

575.  At  reveille,  the  police  guard  takes  arms  ;  the  officer  of  the  guard 
inspects  it  and  the  advanced  post.  .  Tlio  Sergeant  re-plants  the  colors  in 
place.  At  retreat  and  reveille  the  advanced  post  takes  arms;  the 
Sergeant  makes  his  report  to  the  officer  of  the  guard  when  he  visits  the 
post. 

576.  When  necessary,  the  camp  is  covered  at  night  with  Fmall  Out- 
posts, forming  a  double  chain  of  sentinels.  These  posts  are  under  the 
orders  of  the  commander  of  the  police  guard,  and  are'visited  by  his  pat- 
rols and  rounds, 

577.  The  officer  of  the  guard  makes  his  report  of  his  tour  of  service, 
iucluding  the  advanced  post,  and  sends  it,  after  the  guard  is  marched 
off,  to  the  officer  of  the  (jay. 


POLICE   OUAKD.  61 

678.  When  the  regiment  marche!',  the  men  of  the  police  guard  return 
to  their  companies,  except  those  of  tlie  advanced  poet.  In  tlie  cavalry, 
at  the  sound  "  boot  and  saddle,"  the  ofScor  of  the  guard  send:*  onc-iialf 
the  men  to  saddle  and  pack  ;  Avhci;  the  regiment  nssemblcs,  all  the  men 
join  it: 

f)70.  When  the-  campinj;  party  yirecedes  the  regiment,  and  the  nrw 
police  guard  marches  with  the  camping  party,  the  guard,  on  reaching 
the  camp,  forms  in  line  tliirty  paces  in  front  cf  the  centre  of  the  ground 
marked  for  the  regiment.  The  officer  of  the  guard  furnishes  the  eonli- 
uels  required  by  the  connnander  of  the  camping  party. 

The  advanced  post  takes  its  station* 

r)80.  The  advanced  post  of  the  old  jiolice  guard  takes  charge  of  tlio 
prisoners  on  the  march,  and  marclics,  bayonets  fixed,  at  the  centre  of 
the  regiment.  On  reaching  the  camp,  it  turns  over  the  prisoners  to  the 
new  advanced  post. 

r)8I.  The  detail  for  the  picket  is  made  daily,  after  the  details  for  duty 
of  first  class,  and  from  the  next  for  detail  on  the  roster  of  that  class. 
It  is  designed  to  furnish  dctachmente  and  guards  unexpectedly  called 
for  in  the  twenty-four  hours;  it  counts  as  a  tour  of  the  first  class  ^) 
those  who  have  marched  on  detachment  or  guard,  or  •who  have  passed 
the  night  in  bivouac. 

582.  The  officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers  of  the  picket 
arc  at  all  times  dressed  ii'nd^ equipped  ;  the  horses  are  saddled,  and 
knapsacks  and  valises  ready  to  be  put  on. 

58o.  Detachments  and  guards  from  the  picket  are  taken  from  the 
he;xd  of  the  picket  roll  in  each  company,  and,  if  possible;  equally  from 
each  company.  The  picket  of  a  regiuieut  is  composed  of  a  Jjieutenant, 
two  Sergeants,  four  Corporals,  a  drummer,  and  about  forty  yirivates. 
For  a  smaller  force,  the  picket  is  in  proportion  to  the  strength  of  the 
detacliment. 

68-1.  Officers  and  men  of  the  picket  who  march  on  detachhient  or 
gmrd  before  retreat,  will  l)e  r.eph'.ced. 

585.  The  picket  is  assembled  by  the  Adjutant  at  guard-mounting  ;  it 
is  posted  twelve  pac»s  in  the  rear  of  the  f^uard,  and  is  inspected  by  its 
own  commander.  When  the  guard  has  marched  in  review,  the  cem- 
niandant  of  the  picket  marches  it  to  the  left  of  the  police  guard,  where 
it  stacks  its  arms,  and  is  dismissed;  the  arms  arc  under  charge  of  the 
sentinel  of  the  police,  guard. 

580.  The  picket  is  only  assembled  by  the  orders  of  the  Colonel  or  of- 
ficer of  the  day.     It  fwms  on  the  left  of  the  police  guard. 

587.  The  officer  of  the  day  requires  the  ndl  of  the  picket  to  be  called 
frequently  durioi^  the  day  ;  the  call  is  soundftd  fj'om  the  police  guard. 
At  toll-calls  and  inspections,  infantry  pickets  asserabls  with  koapsacks 
on;  cavHlry  on  foot.  The  picket  is  assembled  at  retreat;  the  officer 
has  the  roll  called,  and  inspects  the  arms.  The  pickets  sleep  in  their 
tents,  Imt  without  undrqssing. 

58S.  The  picket  does  not  assemble  at  night  except  in  cases  of  alarm, 
or  wlien  the  whole  or  a  part  is  to  march  ;  then  tj,e  officer  of  the  day 
calls  the  officers,  the  latter  the  non-commissioned  officers,  and  these 
the  men,  for  which  purpose  each  ascertains  the  tents  of  those  he  is  to 
call  ;  they  are  assembled  without  beat  of  drutj  or  other  noise.  At 
niglrt,  cavalry  pickets  BB»cmble  mounted.

arms  for  review,  drill,  march,  or  battle, 

GRAND   GUARDS    AND   OTHER   OUTPOSTS. 

590.  Grand  guards  are  the  advanced  posts  of  a  camp  or  cantonment, 
and  should  cover  the  approaches  to  it.  Tiieir  number,  strength  and 
position  are  regulated  by  the  commanders  of  brigades  ;  in  detached 
corps,  by  the  commanding  oflicer.  When  it  can  be,  the  gfand  guards 
of  cavalry  and  inlantry  are  combined,  the  cavalry  furnishing  the  ad- 
vanced sentinels.  When  the  cavalry  is  weak,  the  grand  guards  are  in- 
fantry, but  furnished  with  a  few  cavalry  soldiers,  to  get  and  carry  in-  ■ 
telligenc'e  of  the  enemy; 

591.  The  strength  of  a  grand  guard  of  a  brigade  will  depend  on  its 
object  and  the  strength  of  the  regiments,  the  nature  of  the  country,  the 
position  of  the  enemy, -and  the  disposition  of  the  inhabitants.  It  is 
usually  commanded  by  a  Captain. 

592.  Under  the  supervisions  of  the' Generals  of  Division  and  Brigade, 
the  grand  guards  are  specially  under  the  direction  of  a  field  officer  of 
the  day  in  each  brigade.  In  case  of  necessity.  Captains  may  be  added 
to  the  roster  of  Xiieutenant-Colon'els  and  IVtajors  for  this  detail. 

■•593.  Staff  ofBcei-s  sent  from  division  headquarters  to  inspect  the  posts 
of  grand  guards,  give  them  orders  only  ih  urgent  cases,  and  in  the  ab- 
sence of  tlie  field  officer  of  the  day  of  the  brigade. 

594.  Grand  guards  usually  invunt  at  the  t^anie  tim.e  as  the  othet- 
guards,  but  may  mount  before  daybre;Ui.  if  the  General  of  Brigade 
tliiiiks  it  ntee^sary  to  double  the  outposts'at  that  time.  In  this  case 
they  assemble  and  march  without  noise,  and  during  their  march  throw 
out  scouts;  this  precaution  should  always  be  taken  in  t!ie  first  posting 
of  a  grand  guard.  The  doubling  of  guards  weakens  the  corps  and 
fatigues  the  men,  and  should  seldom  be  resorted  to,  and  never  when 
preparing  to  march  or  fight. 

595.  A  grand  guard  is  conducted  to  its  post,  in  the  first  instance,  by 
the  field  officer  of  the  day,  guided  by  a  staff  officer  who  accompanied 
the  General  in  his  reoonnoissance.  After  the  post  has  been  established, 
the  commander  sends  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day,  v.-hen  necessary,  a 
siildier  of  the  guard  to  guide  the  relieving  guard  to  the  post.  lie  also 
sends  to  him  in  the  evening  a  Corporal  or  trusty  man  of  the  guard  fur 
the  note  containing  the  parole  and  countersign,  and  ^ends  them  before 
dark  to  the  detached  posts.  lie  will  not  suffer  his  guard  to  be  relieved 
except  by  a  guard  of  the  brigade,  or  by  special  orders. 

596.  If  there  is  no  pass  to  be  observed  or  defended,  the  grand  guards 
are  placed  near  the  centre  of  the  ground  they  "are  to  observe,  on  shel- 
tered, and,  if  possible,  high  ground,  the  better  to  conceal  their  strength 
and  observe  the  enemy  ;  they  ought  not  to  be  placed  near  the  edge  of  a 
wood.  When,  during  the  day,  they  are  placed  very  near  or  in  sight  of 
the  enemy,  they  fall  back  at  night  on  posts  selected  farther  to  the  rear. 

597.  lu  broken  or  in  mountainous  countries,  and  particularly  if  the 
inhabitants  are  ill-disposed,  intermediate-  posts  must  be  established 
when  it  is  necessary  to  post  the  grand  guard  distant  from  the  camp. 

598.  Grand  guards  are  chiefly,  to  watch  the  enemy  in  front ;  their 
flanks  are  protected  by  each  other,  and  the  camps  must  furnish  posts  to 
protect  their  rear  and  secure  their  retreat. 


VlRAND    (il'ARl)!?.  US 

599.  Grand  guards  nre  sold.^m  intrcnclied,  and  never  without  the 
ftrdtM-s  if  tlie  Genenil,  except  by  a  barricade  or  ditcli,  when  exposed  in 
a  plain  to  attacks  of  cavalry. 

000,  The  General  uf  Division,  if  lie  thinks  pmper,  chanj^es  the  sta- 
tions and  orders  of  these  guards,  and  establishes  posts  to  connect  tho 
brigades  op  protect  the  exterior  flanks. 

GO  I.  After  a  grand  guard  is  posted,  the  first  care  of  the  commander 
and  of  the  field  officer  of  the  dny,  is  to  get  news  of  the  enemy ;  then  to 
reconnoitre  his  position,  and  the  roads,  bridges,  fords,  and  defiles: 
This  reconnoisance  determines  the  foroe  and  position  of  the  small  posts 
and  tlicir  sentinels  day  and  night.  These  posts,  according  to  their  im- 
portance, are  commanded  b}'  ofiieers  or  non-commissioned  oflBcors  ;  the 
cavalry  posts  may  be  relieved  every  four  or  eight  hours. 

602.  The  commiinder  of  a  grand  guard  receives  dotaile  1  instructions 
from  the  General  and  field  officer  of  tho  day  of  the  brijrade,  and  in- 
structs the  commanders  of  the  small  posts  as  to  their  duties  and  the  ar- 
rangements for  the  defence  or  retrbat.  The  commanders  of  grand 
guards  may,  in  urgent  cases,  change  the  positions  of  the  small  posts. 
If  the  small  posts  are  to  change  their  positioais  <it  night,  they  wait  until 
the  grand  guard  have  got  into  position,  and  darkness  hides  their  move- 
ments from  the  enemy  ;  then  march  silently  and  rapidly  under  tho 
charge  of  an  officer. 

603.  In  detached  corps,  small  posts  of  picked  men  are- at  night  sent 
forward  on  the  roads  by  which  the  enemy  may  attack  or, turn  the  posi- 
tion. They  watch  the  forks  of  the  roads,  keep  silence,  conceal  them- 
selves, light  no  fires,  and  often  change  place.  -They  announce  the  ap- 
proach of  the  enemy  by  signals  agreed  upon,  and  retreat  by  routes  ex- 
amined during  the  day,  to  places  selected,  and  rejoin  the  guard  at  day- 
brj?ak. 

004.- Grand  guards  have  special  orders  in  each  case.and  tho  follow- 
ing in  all  cases:  to  inform  the  nearest  posts  and  the  field  officer  of  the 
day,  or  the  General  of  Brigade,  of  the  march  and  movements  of  the  • 
enemy,  and  of  the  attacks  they  receive  or  fear;  to  examine  every  per- 
son passing  near  the  post,  particularly  those  coming  from  without;  to 
arrest  suspicious  persons,  and  all  siddiers  and  camp-followers  who  try 
to  passi>ut  without  permission,  and  to  send  to  the  General,  unless  othei"- 
wise  directed,  all  country  pCople  w'lo  come  in. 

005.  All  out  guards  stand  to  arms  at  night  on  the  approach  of  pat- 
rols, rounds,  or  other  parties;  the  sentinel  over  the  arms  has  orders  to 
call  them  out. 

GOG.  Advanced  posts  will  not  take  arms  for  inspection  or  ceremony 
when  it  wouhi  expose  them  to  the  view  of  the  etiemy. 

GOT.  Grand  guards  are  often  charged  with  the  care  and  working  of 
telegraphic  signals. 

GOS.  Tiie  sentinels  and  videttes  nre  placed  on  points  from  which  they 
can  sec  fartlie^^t,  taking  care  not  to  break  their  connection  with  each 
other  or  with  their  posts.  They  are  concealed  from  the  enemy  .as  mucli 
as  possii)'.e  by  walls,  or  trees,  or  elevated  ground.  It  is  generally  evori 
of  more  advantatje  not  to  be  seen  than  to  see  far.  They  should  not  be 
"placed  near  covers,  where  the  enemy  may  capture  them. 

609,  A  sentinel  should  always  bo  reaiiy  to  fire,  videttes  carry  thoir 
pistols  or  carbines   in  their  hands.     A  sentinel  must  be  sure  of  the 


(54  liUAN'D    GUAllXt3. 

presence  of  an  enemy  Ijefure  he  fires;  once  BatisfieJ  of  that,  ho  must 
fire,  though  all  defence  on  his  part  be  useless,  as  the  safety  of  the  post 
may  depend  on  it..  Sentinels  fire  on  all  persons  deserting  to  the  enemy. 

610.  If  the  post  must  be  where  a  sentinel,  on  it  can  not  communicate 
■with  the  guard,  a  corporal  and  three  men  are  detached  for  it,  or  the 
sentinels  are  doubled,  that  one  may  communicate  with  the  guard. 
During  the  day  the  communication  .may  be  made  by  signals,  such  as 
raising  a  cap  or  handkerchief.  At  night  sentinels  are  placed  on  low- 
ground,  the  better  to  see  oljects  against  the  sky. 

Oil.  To  lessen  the  duty  of  rounds,  and  keep  more  men  on  the  alert 
at  night,  sentinels  are  relieved  every  hour.  To  prevent  sentinels  from 
being  surprised,  it  is  sometimes  well  to  precede  the  countersign  by  sig- 
nals, such  as  stnking  the  musket  with  tlie  hand,  striking  the  bauds  to- 
gether,  &c. 

612.  On  the  ppprnach  of  any  one  at  night,  the  sentinel  orders. — 
"  Hult!  "  If  the  order  is  not  obeyed  after  once  repeated,  he  fires.  If 
obeyed,  ho  c^\U—'-' Who  goes  there?"  If  answered — ''Rounds"  or 
"  I'atrvl,"' ha  says — "Advance  iciih  the  countemign."  If  more  than  one 
advance  at  the  same  time,  or  the  person  who  advances  fails  to  give  the 
countersign  or  signal  agreed  on,  the  sentinel  fires,  and  falls  back  on  his 
guiird.  The  sentinel  over  the  arms,  as  soon  as  his  liail  is  answered, 
turns  out  thfe  guard,  and  tlio  corporal  goes  to  reconnoitre.  When  it  is 
desirable  to  hide  the  position  of  the  sentinel  from  the  enemy,  the  hail 
is  replaced  by  signals  ;  the  sentinel  gives  the  signal,  and  those  approach- 
ing tlie  cnunter  signal. 

013.  With  raw  troops,  or  when  the  light  troops  of  the  enemy  are  nu- 
merous or  active,  and  when  the  country  is  broken  or  wooded,  the  night 
stormy  or  dark,  sentinels  should  be  doubled.  In  this  case,  while  one 
watches,  the  other,  called  a  flying  sentinel,  moves  about,  examining  the 
paths  and  hollows. 

6.14.  Too  commandants  of  grand  guards  visit  the  sentinels  often; 
change  their  positions  when  necessa^^  ;  make  them  repeat  their  orders; 
teach  them  under  what  circnmsti^nces  and  at  what  signals  to  retire,  and 
particularly  not  to  fall  back  directly  on  their  j^uard  if  pursued,  but  to 
lead  the  enemy  in  a  circuit. 

615.  At  night,  half  tlie  men  of  the  grand  guard  off  post  watch  under 
arms,  while  the  rest  lie  down,  arms  by  tlioir  side.  The  horses  are  al- 
ways bridled;  the  horsemen  hold  the  reins,  and  must  not  sleep. 

616.  When  a  grand  guard  of  cavalry  is.so  placed  as  not  to  be  liable 
to  a  sudden  attack  from  the  enemy,  the  General  may  permit  the  horses 
to  b^  fed  during  t!ie  night,  unbridling  for  tins  purpose  a  ^6\\  at  a  time 
— the  horsemen  being  vigihant  to  prevent  them  from  escayiing. 

617.  An  hour  before  break  of  day,  infantry  grand  guards  stand  to 
arm-i,  and  cavalry  mouiit.  At  tlio- advanced  posts,  some  of  the  infantry 
are  all  niglit  under  arms,  some  of  the  cavalry  on  horseback. 

618.  The  commander  of  a  grand  guard  regulates  the  numbers,  the 
hours,  and  the  march  of  patrols  and  rounds,  according  to  the  strength 
of  his  troop  and  the  necessity  for  precaution;  and,  accompanied  by 
tliose  who  are  to  command  the  patrols  and  rounds  during  the  night,  he 
will  reconnoitre  all  tho  route  tliey  are  to  follow. 

619.  Patrols  and  rounds  march  slowly,  in  silence,  and  with  great 
precaution  ;  halt  freriuently  to  listen,  abd  examine  the  ground.     The 


WRAND    ROUNDS.  -     "  66 

rounds  consist  of  an  officer  or  non-commissiADed  oflScer,  and  two  or  three 
men. 

620.  Toward  the  hrcak  of  day  the  patrols  ought  to  be  more  frequent, 
and  sent  to  t^reater  distances.  They  examine  the  hollow-ways,  and 
ground  likely  to  conceal  an  enemy,  but  with  great  caution,  to  avoid  be- 
ing cut  off,  or  enr;aged  in  an  unequal  combat ;  if  tliey  meet  the  enemy, 
they  lire  and  attempt  to  stop  his  march.  AVhile  the  patrols  are  out  the 
posts  are  under  arms. 

C2l.  Cavalry  patrols  should  examine  the  country  to  agre.ater  distance 
than  infantry,  and  report  to  the  infantry  guard  every  thing  they  observe. 
The  morning  patrols  and  scouts  do  not  return  until  broad  daylight; 
and  wiien  they  return,  the  night  sentinels  arc  withdiawn,  and  the  posts 
for  the  day  resumed. 

022.  Wlien  patrols  are  sent  beyond  the  advanced  posts,  thrf  posts  and 
sentinels  should  be  warned. 

623.  On  their  return,  commanders  of  patrols  report  in  regnrd  to  the 
ground  and  every  thing  they  have  observed  of  the  movements  of  the 
enemy,  or  of  Ins  post,*,  and  tiio  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  reports 
to  the  field  officer  of  the  day. 

624.  The  fires  of  the  grand  guards  should  be  hidden  by  a  wall,  or 
ditch,  or  other  screen.  To  deceive  the  enemy,  fires  are  sometimes  made 
on  gr.-und  not  occupied.  Tires  are  not  permitted  at  smtill  posts  liable 
to  surprise.  ^ 

625.  The  horses  of  cavalry  guards  are  watered  or  fed  by  detachments  ; 
during  which  the  rest  are  ready  to  mount. 

626.  If  a  body  of  troops  attempt  to  enter  the  camp  at  night,  unless 
their  arrival  has  been  announced,  or  the  commander  is  known  to,  or  is 
the  bearer  of  a  written  order  to  the  commander  of  the  grand  guards, 
lie  st(if)s  them,  and  sends  the  commander  under  escort  to  the  field  officer 
of  the  daj',  and  warns  the  pd^t  near  him. 

627.  Bearers  of  flags  are  not  permitted  to  pass  the  outer  chnin  of  sen- 
tinels; their  faces  are  turned  from  the  post  of  army  ;  if  neccs^^ary  their 
eyes  are  bandaged;  a  non  commissioned  oflicer  stays  witii  them  to  pre- 
vent indiscretion  of  the. sentinels. 

628.  The  commandant  of  the  grand  guard  receipts  for  dispatches,  and 
8end.i  them  to  the  field  officer  of  the  day  or  General  of  Brigade,  and  dis- 
misses the  bearer;  but  if  he  has  discovered  what  oug^ht  to  be  concealed 
from  the  enemy,  he  is  detained  .is  long  as  necessary. 

620.  Deserters  are  disarmed  at  the  advanced  posts,  and  sent  to  the 
commander  of  the  ^rand  g^iard,  who  gets  fnmi  thcm^ll  the  information 
he  can  concerning  his  post.  If  many  come  at  niglit  they  are  received 
cautiously,  a  fao  at  a  time.  They  are  sent  in  the  morning  to  the  field 
officer  of  the  day,  or  to  the  nearest  post  or  camp,  to  bo  conducted  to  the 
(icneral  of  the  iirigadc.  All  8us[)ccted  persons  are  searched  by  com- 
manders of  the  posts. 

630.  When  wn  enemy  advances  to  an  attack,  unless  he  is  in  too  great 
force,  or  tlie  grand  guard  is  to  defend  an  intrenched  post  or  a  defile,  it 
will  take  position,  and  execute  the  movements  to  check  the  enemy,  act- 
ing as  skirmii-hers,  or  fighting  in  clo.'^o  or  open  order,  ns  nniy  be  best. 
The  guard  joins  its.corjis  when  in  lino,  or  when  n  suffici'-nt  number  of 
t.'"Oops  have  reached  the  ground  it  defends. 


66  ENTRENCHED  POSTS — DEIACHMENTS. 

ENTRENCHED    POSTS, 

631.  Unless  the  army  be  acting  on  the  defensive,  no  post  should  he 
intrenched,  except  to  cover  the  weak  parts  of  the  line,  or  at  points 
tvhich  the  enemy  cannot  aTOid,  or  in  mountain  warfare,  or  to  the  close 
of  a  defile,  or  to  cover  winter  quarters. 

632.  Posts  connected  with  the  operations  of  an  army  are  intrenched 
only  by  order  of  the  General  ca«imandiDg-in-chief  or  a  General  of  Di- 
vision. 

633.  Any  intrenchment  that  requires  artillery,  is  considered  as  a  post, 
and  a  guard  or  garrison  and  commander  are  assigned  to  it. 

634.  The  General  who  establishes  an  intrenched  post  gives  to  its  com- 
mander detailed  instructions  in  regard  to  its  defence,  and  the  circum- 
stances UTider  which  the  defence  should  cease. 

635.  The  commander  recunnoiters  his  post;  distributes  the  troops; 
posts  the  uffieej-s  and  ncfn-commissioned  officers ;  forms  a  reserve  ;  gives 
orders  -for  all  contingencies  he  can  foresee;  supposes  an  attack,  and  ar- 
ranges his  troops  for  defence,  so  as  to  prepare  them  for  an  attack,  day  or 
night. 

636.  In  dark  weather  ha  redoubles  his  vigilance,  and  changes  the 
hours  and  direction  of  the  rounds  and  parols.  He  permits  no  flags  of 
truce,  deserters  or  strangers  to  enter.  If  a  flag  ought  to  pass  his  post, 
he  l^andages  his  eyes.  He  refuses  admittance  to  a  relief  or  any  other 
party  until  he  has  carefully  examined  them.  In  cas'e  of  an  attack,  lie 
does  not  wait  for  orders  cir  hold  a  oouncii.  ILwing  defended  his  post 
to  the  last  extremity,  or  till  the  purpose  of  the  defence,  according  to  his 
instructions,  is  answered,  he  may  then  spike  his  guns  and  rejoin  the 
army  under  cover  of  night,  or  by  cutting  his  way  through  the  enemy. 

DETACHMENTS. 

*637.  When  adetachmenjt  is  to  bef  formed  from  the  different  regiments 
of  a  brigade,  the  Assistant  Adjutant-General  of  the  brigade  assembles 
it,  and  turns  it  over  to  the  commander. 

.638.  When  a  detachment  is  to  be  formed  from  different  brigades,  the 
Assistant  Adjutant  General  in  each,  forms  the  contingent  of  the  brigade, 
and  sends  it  to  the  plare  of  assembling, 

639.  Detachments  are  generally  formed  by  taking  battalions,  squad- 
rons, companies,  platoons  in  turn,  according  to  the  roster  for  such 
det.ail.  , 

640.  When  the  fletachment  is  to  consist  of  men  from  every  company 
or  troop,  the  first  on  the  roster  for  guard  are  taken. 

641.  Officers,  non-commissioned  officers,  and  soldiers,  whose  tour  it  is 
to  go  on  detachment,  if  employed  otherwise  at  the  time,  are  relieved 
from  the  duty  they  are  un,  if  they  can  reach  the  camp  in  time  to  march 
with  the  detachment. 

642.  When  detachments  meet,  the  command  is  regulated  while  they 
serve  together  as  if  they  formed  one  detachment..    But  the  senior  officers  > 
canrxot  prevent  the  commander  of  any  detachment  from  moving,'whea 
lie  thinks  proper,  to  ese^^ute  the  orders  he  has  received. 

643.  On  the  return  of  a  detachment,  the  ciaimuvnder  reports  to  tlie  ' 
hcadcfuarters  from  which  he  received  his  orders. 


RECONNOISANCES — ^ARllSANS    AND     1L.\NK.KRS.  67 

KEC0NNOISANCE8. 

644.  Near  an  enemy,  daily  reconnoisances  are  made  to  observe  tlio 
ground  in  front,  and  to  discover  wlietlier  the  advanced  guards  of  the 
enemy  liave  been  increased  or  put  in  motion,  or  any  other  sign  of  hia 
preparation  for'marcli  or  action. 

645.  They  are  made  by  f*mali  parties  of  cavalry  and  infantry,  from 
the  brigade,  under  the  direction  of  the  General  of  Division  cr  the  General 
of  a  separate  brigade,  and  to  less  distance  by  the  pastoral  of  the  grand 
guard,  and  are  not  repeated  at  the  same  hour  or  by  the  same  route.  On 
the  plain,  reconnoisances  a.-e  made  by  cavalry  ;  among  mountains,  by 
infantry,  with  a  few  horsemen  to  carry  intelligence. 

6-JG.  Rcconnoitering  parties  obi=erve  the  following  precautions:  to 
leave  small  posts,  or  sentinels  at  intervals,  to  transmit  intelligence  to 
the  advanced  posts  of  an  army,  unless  the  return  is  to  be  by  a  different 
route;  to  march  with  caution,  to  avuitf  fighting  ;  and  see,  if  possible, 
without  being  seen  ;  to  keep  an  advanced  guard  ;  to  send  well  mounted 
men  ahead  of  the  advanced  guard  ;  and  on  the  flank  of  the  party  ;  to 
instruct  the  scouts  that  no  two  should  enteV  a  defile  or  mount  a  hill  to- 
gether* but  to  go  one  at  a  time,  while  one  watches  to  carry  the  news  if 
the  other  is  taken. 

647.  Before  daybreak  the  advanced  guard  a. id  scouts  are  drawn 
closer;  the  party  then  march  slowly  and  silently,  stop  frequently  to 
listen,  and  keep  the  horses  that  neigh  in  the  rear.  The  party  should 
enter  no  wood,  defile,  village,  or  inclosure,  until  it  has  been  lully  ex- 
amined by  the  scouts. 

64<S.  Special  reconnoisances  are  m;ido  under  the  instruction  of  the 
General  in  commnnd,  Ijy  such  officers  and  with  buch  foreo  r.s  ho  may 
direct.  '  . 

641).  OlTensirc  or  forced  reconnoisances  are  to  ascertain  with  certainty 
points  in  the  enemy's  position,  or  l)is  strength.  They  arc  sometimes 
preludes  to  real  actions,  arid  sometimes  only  dcnion.strations.  They 
drive  in  his  outposts,  and  sometimes  engage  special  cor]f*  of  his  line. 
Tliey  arc  only  made  by  order  of  tlie  General  commanding-in-chief,  or 
the  commander  of  an  isolated  corps. 

650.  In  all  repoits  of  reconnoisances,  the  officer  making  them  shall 
distinguish  expressly  what  he  has  seen  frohi  the  accounts  he  has  not 
boeti  able  to  verify  [personally. 

651.  In  special  and  offensive  reconnoisances,  the  report  must  be  ac- 
companied by  i\  field-sketch  of  the  localities,  the  dispositions  and  defen- 
ces of  the  enemy.  « 

r.\RTISAN"S    AND    FLANKERS. 

C52.  The  operations  of  partisan  corps  depend  on  the  nature  and' 
theatre  of  the  war  ;  they  enter  into  the  general  plan  of  operations,  and 
are  conducted  under  the  onlers  of  the  General  commatfding-inchiof. 

653.  Tlie  c.niposiiion  and  st]-cngth  of  parlisiin  corps  and  detachment 
of  Hankers  depend  on  the  oiject,  the  difficulties,  the  distance,  and  tlio 
probatile  time  of  the  expedition.-  * 

654.  The  purpose  of  those  isolated  corps  is  to  reconnoitre  at  a  dis- 
tance on  the  fl.mks  of  tiie  army,  t  •  protect  its  operaliuns,  to  deceive  the 
enemy,  to  interru[it  his  communications,  to  intercept  his  couriers  and 
his  correspondence,  to  threaten  or  destroy   his  magazines,  to  carry  off 


08       '  MARCHES. 

his  posts  and  his  convoys,  or,  at  all  events,  to  retard  his  inarch  by 
making  him  detach  largely  for  their  protection.  .  ^ 

655.  Wliile  these  corps  fatigue  the  enemy  and  embarrass  his  opera- 
tions, they  endeavor  to  inspire  confidence  and  secure  the  good  will  of 
the  inhabitants  in  a  friendly  country,  and  to  hold  them  in  check  in  an 
enemy's  country. 

656.  They  move  actively,  appear  unexpectedly  on  different  points,  in 
such  a  manner  as  to  make  it  impossible  to  estimate  their  forco,  or  to 
tell  whether  they  are  irregular  forces  or  an  advanced  guard. 

657.  These  operations  require  vigilance,  socresy,  energy,  and  prompt* 
ness.  The  partisan  commander  must  frequently  supply  by  stratagem 
and  audacity  vchat  he  wants  in  numbers. 

658.  These  detachments  are  sometimes  composed  of  different  arms, 
but  the  service  behings  more  particularly  to  the  light  cavalry,  which 
can  move  to  a  distance  by  rapid  marches,  surprise  the  enemy,  attack 
unexpectedly,  and  retire  as  pr('mptl3^ 

G59.  Siormy  weather,  fogs,  extreme  heat,  and  the  night  above  all, 
are  fav<irablc  to  the  success  of  ambuscades:  when  the  enenn'^  are  care- 
less, the  l)rei)k  of  day  is  the  best  time.  A  partisan  commander  should 
communicate  fo  his  second  in  command,  his  secret  orders,  the  direction 
and  object  of  the  expedition,  and  the  different  points  olf  junction  with 
the  army. 

•  600.  Guides  of 'the  country  and  spies  are  often  necessary  to  the  parti- 
san. Tliey  are  examined  separately,  and  confronted  if  their  accounts 
differ.  When  there  is  but  one  guide,!  ho  marclies  with  the  advanced 
guard,  guarded  by  two'  .men^  and  bound  if  necessary.  Peddlers  and 
smugi;;lers  are  specially  suitable-fur  spies. 

061.  A  fit  time  to  attack  a  convoy  is  at  a  halt,  or  when  they  begin  to 
park,  or  when  tliey  are  watering,  passing  a  wood  or  a  defile;  at  a  bend 
of  the  road,  a  bridge  or  steep  ascent. 

662.  The  attacking  party  may  be  principally  cavalry,  with  some  in- 
fantry. The  first  object  is  to  disperse  the  escort.  A  part  of  the  de- 
tachment attacks  the  main  body  of  the  escort,  anotlier  the  wagons,  and 
a  third  is  in  reserve  ;  skirmishers  line  the  road,  and  try  to  cut  the 
traces,  and  to  seize  the  front  and  rear  wagotis,  and  turn  them  across  the 
road,  to  prevent  the  train  from  advancing  or  retreating. 

063.  If  the  convoy  is  parked,  the  cavalry  surrounds  it,  assails  the  es- 
cort, and  tries  to  draw  it  away  from  the  train.  The  Infantry  then  en- 
gage the  troops  remaining  at  the  park,  slip  under  the  wagons,  and  get 
into  the  park.  When  tiie  cavalry  is  alon&  and  the  enemy  are  shaken, 
they  dismount  a  portion  of  the  men  to  supply  the  want  of  infantry. 

664.  If  it  is  a  large  convoy,  the  principal  attack  is  made  on  tiie  cen- 
tre;  the  most  valuable  wagons  are  also  selected  and  additional  horses 
are  put  to  them  if  the  attack  is  successful^  Ttiose  that  cannot  bo  car- 
ried off  arc  burned. 

MARCUES. 

665.  The  oliJGct  of  the  movement  arid  the  nature  of  the  ground  deter- 
mine the  order  of  march,  the  kind  of  troops  in  each  column,  and  the 
number  of  columns. 

600.  The  force  is  divided  into  as  many  columns  as  circumstances  per- 
mit, without   weakening   any  one  too  mnsh.     Thoy  oufjht  jo  [ircyerve

their  cohmumiciitione,  and  bi?  within  supporting  distance  of  each  other. 
The  comniamler  of  each  column  ought  tu  know  the  strength  and  direc- 
tion of  the  oiliers. 

G67.  The  advance  and  rear  guards  nro  nsunlly  light  troops  ;  tlieir 
strength  and  composition  <iepend  on  the  nature  of  the  ground  and  ihe 
position  of  the  enemy.  They  serve  to  cover  the  movements  oflho 
army,  and  to  hold  the  enemy  in  cheik  until  tlie  General  has  time  to 
make  his  •arrangements. 

(568.  The  advance  guard  is  not  always  at  the  head  of  a  column  ;  in  n 
march  to  a  flank,  it  takes  sue!)  positions  as  cover  the  movement.  Sap- 
pers are  attached  to  the  advanced  guard  if  required. 

6G9.  The  '^  yeiieral,"  sounded  on^  hour  hefore  tiio  time  of  marching, 
is  tlic  signal  to  strike  tents,  to  load  the  wagons,  and  pack  horses,  hnd 
send  them  to  the  place  of  assemblings.  The  fiies  are  then  put  out,  and 
core  taken  to  avoid  burning  straw,  &c.,  or  giving  to'  the  enemy  any 
other  indication  of  the  movement. 

G70.  .The  "  march"  will  be  beat  in  the  infantry,  and  the  "  advance" 
pounded  in  the  cavalry,  in  succession,  as  each  is  to  take  its  place  in  the 
column. 

071.  ^\Then  the  army  should  form  suddenly  to  meet  the  enemj',  tho 
"long  roll"  is-tieat,  and  "to  horse"  sounded.  Tho  troops  form  rapidly 
'in  front  of  their  camp. 

072.  Batteries  of  artillery  and  their  caissons  move  with  ^hc  corps  to 
which  they  are  attached  ;  the  lield  train  and  ambuhinccs  march  at  tho 
rear  of  the  column  ;   and  tiie  b;iggage  witli  the  rear  guard. 

673.  Cavalry  and  infantry  do  not  march  together,  unless  tho  prox- 
imity of  the  enemy  makes  it  necessary. 

074.  Ill  cavalry  niiirclies,  when  distant  from  the  enemy,  each  rogi-. 
ment,  and,  if  possible,  each  squadron,  firms  a  ^separate  column,  in  i-rder 
to  keep  up  the  same  gait  from  frout'to  rear,  and  to  trot,  when  desirable, 
on  goiid  ground.  In  such  cases,  the  cavairy  may  leave  camp  later,  and 
can  give  more  rest  to  thelmrses,  and  more  ;;ttenticin  to  theshoeing  and 
harness.     Horses  are  not  bridled  until  the  time  to  start. 

075.  Wiien  nece.-sary,  the  orders  specify  the  rations  the  men  are  to 
carry  in  their  haversackt},.  Tlie  field  officers  and  Captains  make  inspec- 
tion;! frequently  during  the  march  ;  at  halts  they  examine  the  knap- 
packs,  valises  and  haversacks,  and  throw  away  all  articles  not  auihor- 
ized.  The  officer^  and  non-C(;mmissi.ined  officers  of  cavalry  companica 
atten-d  personally  to  the  packs  and  girths. 

070.  When  it  can  bo  avoided,  troops  should  not  be  assembled  on  high 
roads  or  other  places  where  they  interrupt  the  cor^munication. 

077.  Generals  of  Pivisiona  and  commanders  of  dctadu'dt'orps  send  a 
Btaff  officer  to  the  rendezvous  in  advance,  to  receive  the  troops,  who, 
on  arriving,  take  their  place  in  the  order  of  battle,  and  form  in  closo 
column,  unless  otherwise  ordered.  Artillery,  or  trains  halted  on  the 
roads,  form  in  file  on  one  side. 

07S'.  The  e.xecution  of  marching  orders  must  not  be  delayed.  If  tl;o 
commander  is  not  at  the  head  of  his  troops  when  they  arc  to  march,  the 
next  in  rank  pul.s  tlie  culumn  in  niotioh. 

070.  If  posxiblo,  each  column  is  preicded  by  a  detachment  of  sappers, 
to  remove  olistacles  to  the  marcli,  ai<led,  when  noce.ssary,  by  infantry, 
or  tho  people  of  the  country.     Tho  detnchmcnl  \i  divided  into  two  sec-

680.  In  night  marches,  and  at  bad  places,  and  at  cross-roads,  when 
necessary,  intelligent  non-commissioned  officei's  are  posted  to  show  the 
way,  and  are  relieved  by  the  regiments  as  tliey  come  up. 

G81.  On  the  march,  no  one  shall  ^re  a  gun,  orcry. "  Aa/i"  or  ''march,"

682.  Soldiers  are  not  to  stop  for  water  ;  the  canteens  should  be  filled 
before  starting. 

CiS;]  It  is.  better  to  avoid  villages  ;  but  if  thp  raute  lies  through  them, 
officers  and  non-commissioned  officers  are  to  be  vigilant  to  prevent 
strai^gling'     Halts  should  not  take  place  at  villages. 

G8I.  Besides  the  rear  guard,  the  General  sometimes  takes  a  detach- 
ment from  tlie  last  regiment,  and  adds  to  it  non-commissioned  officers 
from  each  regiment,  to  examine  villages  and  all  hiding-places  on  the. 
route,  to  bring  up  stragglers  and  seize  marauders. 

G85.  In  night  marches,  the  Sergeant-Major  of  each  regiment  remains 
at  the  raar  with  a  drummer,  to  give  notice  when  darkness  or  difficulty 
stops  the  march.  In  cavalry,  a  trumpet  is  placed  in' rear  of  each 
squadron,  and  the  signal  repeated  to  the  head  of  the  regiment. 

G86.  The  General  and  field  officers  frequently  stop,  or  send  officers  to  . 
the  rear,  to  see  that  the  troops  march  in  the  prescribed  order,  and  keep 
their  distances.     To  quicken  the  march,  the  General  warns  the  Colo- 
nels, and  may  order  a  signal  to  be  beat.     It  is  repeated  in  all  the  regi- 
ments.. 

GST.  In  approacliing  a  defile,  the  Colonels  are  warned  ;  they  close 
their  regiments  as  they  come  up  ;  each  regiment  passes  separately,  at  an 
accelerated  pace,  and  in  as  close  order  as  possible.  The  leading  regi- 
ment having  passer!,  and  left  room  enough  for  tlie  whole  column  in 
close  order,  then  halts,  and  moves  again  as  soon  as  the  last  regiment  is 
through-  In  the  cavalry,  each  squadron,  before  quickening  the  pace  to 
rejoin  the  column,  takes  its-origiiial  order  of  march. 

GS8.  When  the  distance  from  the  eneu)y  permits,  each  regiment, 
after  closing  up  in  front.aud  rear  of  the  defile,  stacks  arms. 

GS9:  Halts  to  rest  and  reform  the  tro<  ps  are  frequent  during  the 
day,  depending  on  the  object  and  length  of  the  march.  They  are  made 
in  preference  after  the  passage  of  defiles. 

690-  No  honors  are  paid  by  troops  on  the  march  or  at  halts. 

G81.  T!ie  sick  march  with  the  wagor:s. 

692.  L'ed  horses  of  otiiccrs,  and  the  horses  of  dismounted  men,  follow 
their  regiment.  The  baggage  wagtns  never  march  in  the  column. 
When  the  General  orders  the  field  train  and  ambulances  to  take  place 
in  the  column,  he  designates  the  position  they  siiall  take. 

G93.  If  two  corps  meet  on  the  same  road,  they  pass  to  the  right,  and 
both  continue  their  march,  if  the  road  is  wide  enough  ;  if  it  is  not,  the 
first  in  the  order  of  battle  takes  the  road,  the  other  halts. 

09-1.  A  corps  in  march  must  not  be  cut  liy  another.  If  two  corps 
meet  at  cross  roads,  that  which  arrives  last  halts  if  the  other  is  in  mo- 
tion. A  corps  in  march  passes  a  corps  at  a  halt,  if  it  has  precedence 
in  the  order  of  battle,  or  if  tlie  halted  corps  is  not  ready  ty  move  a't 
once. 

095.  A  column   tliat  halts  to  let   another  column   pass   resumes  the 


uatti.es.  71 

march  in  ndv.inco  of  the  train  of  this  column.  If  a  column  has  to  pass 
a  train,  tbc  train  must  halt,  if  necessary,  till  tlie  column  past-Ts.  Tho 
column  which  has  precedence  musit  yield  it  if  tho  commander,  on  seeing 
the  orders  of  the  other,  finds  it  for  the  interest  of  the  service. 

BATTLES. 

69G.  Dispositions  for  battle  depend  on  tlic  number,  kind,  and  quality 
of  the  tiodps  opposed,  on  the  ground,  and  on  tlie  objects  of  the  war  ; 
but  the  following  rules  are  to  be  observed  generally: 

007.  In  attacking,  the  advanced  guard  endeavors  to  capture  tho  ene- 
my's outposts,  or  cut  them  ofi'  from  tlie  main  body.  Having  done  so, 
or  driven  them  in,  it  occupies,  in  advancing,  all  the  points  that  can 
cover  or  facilitate  the  march  of  the  army  or  secure  its  retreat,  such  aa 
bridges,  defiles,  woods  and  heiglits  ;  it  then  makes  attacks,  to  occupy 
the  onemy,  without  risking  too  much,  and  to  deceive  ihem  as  to  tho 
march  and  projects  of  the  army. 

698.  When  tho  enemy  is  hidden  by  a  curtain  of  advanced  troops,  tho 
commandant  of  the  advanced  guard  sends  scouts,  under'iutelligent  offi- 
cers, to  tlie  right  and  left,  to  ascertain  his  position  and  movements.  If 
he  does  not  succeed  in  this  way,  he  tries  to  unmask  the  enemy  by  dc- 
monstrations^  threatens  to  cut  the  advance  from  tlie  main  body  ;  makes* 
false  attacks  ;  partial  and  impetuous  charges  in  echelon;  and  if  all 
fail,  lie  makes  a  real  attack  to  accomplish  the  object. 

GOO.  Det;ichments  left  by  the  advanced  guard  to  hold  points  in  the 
rear,  rejoin  it  when  other  troops  come  up.  If  the  army  takes  a  posi- 
tion, and  tho  advanced  guard  is  separated  fr«m  it  by  defiles  or  heights, 
the  communication  is  secured  by  troops  drawn  fronj  the  main  body. 

700.  At  proper  distance  from  the  cnenij',  tbe  troops  are  formed  for 
the  attack  in  several  lines  ;  if  only  two  can  be  formed,  some  battalions 
in  column  arc  placeii  behind  the  wings  of  the  secoud  line.  The  lines 
may  be  formed  of  troops  in  column  or  in  order  of  battle,  according  to 
the  ground  and  pLm  of  attack. 

701.  The  ndvanccd  guard  mny  be  put  in  the  line  or.  on  the  wings,  or 
other  position,  lo  aid  the  pursuit  or  cover  the  retreat. 

702.  The  reserve  is  formed  of  the  best  troops  of  foot  and  horse,  to 
complete  a  victory"  or  make  good  a  retreat.  It  is  placed  iu  the  rear  of 
the  centre,  or  chief  point  of  attack  or  defence. 

703.  The  cavalry  should  be  distributed  in  echelon  on  the  wings  and 
at  tho  centre,  on  favorable  ground. 

701.  It  should  be  instructed  not  to  take  the  gallop  until  within 
charging  distance  ;  never  to  receive  a  charge  at  a  halt,  but  to  meet  it, 
or,  if  not  strong  enough,  to  retire  manoeuvring  ;  and  in  order  to  be 
ready  for  the  pursuit,  and  prepared  against  a  reverse,  or  the  attacks  of 
the  reserve,  not  to  engage  all  its  si^uadrons  at  once,  but  to  reserve  one 
third,  in  column  or  in  echelon,  abreast  of  or  in  the  rear  of  one  of  tho 
wings;  this  arrangement  is  better  than  a  second  lino  with  intervals. 

705.  In  tho  attack,  the  artillery  is  employed  to  silence  tho  batteries 
that  protect  the  position.  In  the  defense,  it  is  better  to  direct  its  firo 
on  the  advancing  troops.  In  either  case,  as  many  pieces  are  united  as 
possilile,  the  fire  of  artillery  being  formidable  in  proportion  to  its  con- 
centration. 

706.  In  battles  and  military  operations  it  is  better  to  assunje  the 


72  BATTLES. 

offensive,  and  put  thp  enemy  on  the  defensive;  but  to  be  safe  in. doing 
BO  requires  a  larger  force  tlian  the  enemy,  or  better  troops,  and  favora- 
ble ground.  When  obliged  to  act  on  the  defensive,  the  advantage  of 
position  and.  of  nr.iliing  the  attack  may  sometimes'  be  secured  by  form- 
ing in  rear  of  the  ground  oa  which  we  are  to  fight,  and  advancing  at 
the  moment  of  action.  In  mountain  warfare,  the  assailant  has  always 
the  disadvantage  ;  and  even  in  ofFensi^ve  warf<ire,  in  the  open  field,  it 
may  frequently  be  very  important,  when  the  artillery  is  well  posted, 
and  any  advantage  of  the'ground  may  be  secured,  to  await  the  enemy 
and  compel  him  to  attack. 

707.  The  attack  should  be  made  with  a  superior  force  on  the  defen- 
sive point  t'f  the  enemy's  position,  by  masking  this  by  false  attacks  and 
demonstrations  on  other  points,  and  by  concealing  the  troops  intended 
for  it  by  the  gt-ound  or  by  other  troops  in  the  front. 

708.  Besides  the  arrangements  which  depend  on  the  supposed  plan 
of  the  enemy,  the  wings  must  be  protected  by  the  ground,  or  supported 
by  troops  in  echelon  ;  if  the  attack  of  the  enemy  is  repulsed,  the  offen- 
sive must  at  0UC3  bo  takeo,  to  inspire  the  troops,  to  disc»ncert  the  ene- 
my, and  oft,ea  to  decide  the  action.  In  thus  taking  the  offensive,  a 
clo-e  column  should  be  puslied  rapidly  on  the  wing  or  flank  of  the  en- 
emy. The  divisions  of  this  column  form  in  the  line  oT  battle  succes- 
sively', and  cich  division  moves  to'the  front  as  soon  as  formed,  in  order, 
by  a  rapid  attaclc  in  echelon,  to  prevent  the  enemy  from  changing  front 
or  bringing  up  his  reserves.  In  all  arrangements,  especially  in  those 
•for  attacks,  it  is  most  important  to  conceal  the  design  until  the  moment 

of  execut-ion.  and  then  to  execute  it  with  the  greatest  rapidity.  .  The 
night,  therefore,  is  preferred  "for  the  movement  of  troops  on  the  flank 
or  rear,of  the  enemy,  otherwise  it  is  necessary  to  masktheir  march  by 
a  grand  movement  in  front,  or  by  taking  a  wide  circuit. 

709.  In  making  an  attack,  the  communications  to  the  rear  and  for  re- 
treat must  be  secured,  an(i  the  General  must  giv£  beforehand  all  neces- 
sary onlers  to  provide  for  that  event. 

710.  When  a  success  is  gained,  the  light  troops  should  pursue  tho 
enemy  promptly  and  rapidly.  The  other  troops  will  restore  order  in 
their  columns,  tlien  advance  from  position  to  position,  always  prepared 
for  an  attack  or  to  support  the  troops  engaged. 

711.  Before  the  action,  the  Generals  indicate  the  places  where  they 
•will  be;  if  they  change  position,  they  give  notice  of  it,  or  leave  a  staft' 
officer  to  show  whore  they  have  gone. 

712.  During  the  fight  tho  officers  and  non-commissioned  officwsjceep 
the  men  in  the  ranks,  and  enforce  obedience,  if  necessary.  Soldiers 
must  not  be  permitted  to  leave  tlie  ranks  to  strip  or  rob  the  dead,  nor 
to  assist  the  wounded,  unless  by  express  permission,  which  is  only  to 
be  given  after  the  action  is  decided.  The  highest  interest  and  duty  is 
to  win  the  victory,  which  only  can  insure  proper  care  of  the  wounded. 

713.  Before  the  action,  the  Quartermaster  of  the  division  makes  all 
the  necessary  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  the  wounded.  He 
establishes  the  ambulance  depots  in  the  rear,  and  gives  his  assistants 
the  necessary  instruction  for  the  service  of  the  ambulance  wagons  and 
other  means  of  removing  the  wounded. 

714.  The  ambulance  depot  to  which  the  wounded  are  carried  or  di- 
rected for  immediate  treatment,  is  generally  establiBhed  at  the  most

plAce,  or  tile  way  Id  it,  to  tho  conductors  of  the  atabulances  and  to  the 
wounded  wlio  can  w^k.  •  •  '. 

715.  The  active  aiubulances  follow  the  troops  engaged  to  euccor  the 
wounded  and  remove  them  to  the  depots  ;  for  this  purpose  the  conduc- 
tors should  alvvaj's  have  the  necessary  assistants,  that  the  soldiers  may 
have  no  escubO  to  leave  the  ranks  for  that  object. 

716.  The  medical  director  of  the  division,  after  consultation  with  the 
QuartermastefGeneral,  distributes  the  medical  officers  and  hospital 
attendants  at  his  disposal,  to  the  depots  and  active  ambulances..  He 
will  send  officers  and  attendants  when  practicable,  to  the  active  ambu- 
lances, to  relieve  ihe  wounded  who  require  treatment  before  being  re- 
moved from  the  ground.  He  will  see  tliat  the  depots  and  ambulances 
are  provided  with  the  necessary,  apparatu.^,  medicines  and  stores.  He 
will  take  post  and  render  his  professional  services  at  the  principal 
depots. 

717.  If  the  enem^  endanger  the  depot,  the  Quartermaster  takes  the" 
orders  of  tho  General  to  remove  it  or  strengthen  its  guard. 

718.  The  wounded  in  the  depots  and  the  sick  are  removed  as  soon  as 
possible  to  thft  hospitals  that  have  been  established  by  the  Quartermas-  • 
ter-Goneral  of  the  army  on  the  flanks  or  rear  of  the  army. 

719.  After  an  action,  the  officers  on  ordnance  duty  collect  the  muni- 
tions of  war  left  on  the  field,  and  make  a  return  of  them  to  the  General. 
The  Quartermaster's  Depactment  collects  the  rest  of  the  public  property, 
captured.  a;ul  makes  the  returns  to  headquarters. 

720.  Written  reports  for  the  (?eneral  coramanding-in  chief  are  made 
by  commandiijjts  of  regiments,  batteries,  and  separate  squadrons,  and 
by  all  commanders  of  a  higher  grade,  each  in  what  concerns  his  owa 
corirmand,  and  to  his  immediate  commander. 

721.  When  an  officer  or  soldier  deserves  mention  for  conduct  in  ac- 
tion, a  special  report  shall  be  made  in  his  case,  and  the  G^eneral  com- 
manding-in-chief decides  whether  to  mention  him  in  his  repoVt  to  tho 
government  and  in  his  orders.  But  he  shall  not  be  meMioned  in  the 
report  until  he  has  been  mentioned  in  tho  orders  to  the  army.  These 
special  reports  are  examined  with  care  by  the  intermediate  command- 
ers, to  verify  the  facts,  and  secure  commehdatioa  and  rewards  to  the 
meritorious  only. 

722.' Tiie  report  of  battles,  which   must  frequently  be  made  before 
these  special  reports  of  persons  are  scrutinized,  is  confined  to  general 
praise  or  blame,  and  an  account  of  the  operations.   '

PRISONERS   OP   WAR. 

'  723.  Prisoners  of  war  will  be  disarmed  and  sent  to  the  rear,  and  re- 
ported as  soon  as  practicable  to  the  hea<lquarter8.»  The  return  of  pri- 
soners frim  the  hpadquartere  of  tho  Army  to  the  War  Department 
will  specify  tlie  number,  rank,  and  corps. 

724..TI>e  private  property  of  prisoners  will  be  duly  respected,  and 
each  shall  be.  treated  with  the  regard  due  t/>  his  rank.  They  are  to 
obey  the  necssary  orders  given  them.  They  receive  for  subsistence 
one  ration  rn-h,  without  regard  to  rank  ;  and  the  wounded  are  to  be 
treated  with  tho  same  care  ae  the  wounded  of  the  army.  Other  allow-

725.  Exchanges  of  priponers  and  release  of  officers  on  parole  depend 
en  the  orders  of  the  General  coramanding-in-chRf,  under  the  instruc- 
tions of  government, 

CONVOYS   ANi)   THEIR  ESCORTS. 

726.  The  strength  and  composition  of  the  escort  of  a  convoy  depend 
on  the  country,  the  nature  and  value  of  the  convoy,  and, the  dangers  it 
may  incur.  A  large  escort  is  required  for  a  convoy  of  powder,  that 
the  defence  may  not  be  near  the  train. 

727.  Cavalry  is  employed  in  escorts  chiefly  to  reconnoitre;  the  pro- 
portion is  larger  as  the  country  is  more  open.  ^ 

728.  Pioneers  or  working  parties  are  attached  to  convoys  to  ipend 
roads,  remove  obstacles,  and  erect  defences.  The  convoys  should  always 
be  provided  with  spafe  wheels,  poles,  axles,  &c. 

729.  The  commandant  of  the  escort  should  recaive  detailed  instruc- 
tions in  writing, 

730.  As  far  as  the  defence  permits,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
shall  refer  to  the  officer  in  charge  of  the  convoy  for  the  hours  of  depar- 
ture, the  halts,  the  parking  and  order  of  the  train,  and  the  precautions 
against  accidents. 

731.  Officers  who  acconipany  the  convoy,  Tjut  do  not  belong  to  the  es- 
cort, shall  exercise  no  authority  in  it  except  by  consent  of  the  comman- 
der. If  these  officers  are  junior  to  the  commander,  he  may  assign  them 
to  duty  if  the  defence  requires  it. 

732.  Large  convoys  are  formed  into  divisions,  each  with  a  conductor. 
The  distance  between  the  wagons  is  four  paces.  A  snrtill  party  of  in- 
fantry is  attached  to  each  division. 

733.  Generally,  munitions  of  war  are  at  the  head  of  the  convoy,  sub- 
Bietence  next,  and  then  other  military  stores ;  the  sutler  last.  But  al- 
ways that  part  of  the  convoy  which  is  most  important  to  the  army  shall 
be  where  itis  most  secure  from  danger.         .  . 

734.  Tlie  commandant  should  send  out  rcconnoitering  parties,  and 
never  put  the  convoy  in  motion  until  their  reports  have  been  received. 
He  always  forms  an  advance  and  rear  guard,  and  keeps  the  main  body 
under  his  immediate  order  at  the  most  important  point,  with  small 
guards  or  posts  at  other  points. 

735.  In  an  open  country  the  main  body  marches  by  the  side  of  the 
road,  opposite  the  centre  of  the  envoy ;,  in  other  cases  at  the  head  or 
rear  of  the  column,  as  the  onepr  the  other  is  more  exposed. 

736.  The  advance  guard  precedes  the  convoy  far  enough  to  remove* 
all  obstacles  to  its  advance.     It  examines  the  woods,  defiles,  and  villa- 
ges, and  by  mounted  men  gives  information  to  the  commander,  and  re-, 
ceives  his  orders.     It  seconnoiters  places  for  halts  and  pa'rks. 

737.  If  the  head  *of  the  column  is  threatened,  the  advanced  "guard 
seizes  the  defiles  and  places  which  the  enemy  might  occupy,  and  holds 
them  until  the  main  body  advances  to  the  front  and  relieves  it;  the 
main  body  holds  the  positions  until  the  head  of  the  convoy  arriVes,  and 
then  leaves  detachments,  which  are  relieved  by  the  parties  marching 
with  the  divisions ;  the  posts  are  not  abandoned  until  the  whole  convoy 
has  passed  and  the  position  is  no  longer  important. 


OOiNVOYS    ANl>   THEIR   ESCORTS..  75 

738.  \Theii  the  rear  is  throatoneJ,  like  measures  are  taken  ;  the  rear 
guard  defends  the  ^^rounds  and  retards  the  enemy  by  breaking  the 
bridge.^  and  bl'iokin;;  thoxoad. 

7'6i).  It"  the  flanks  are  tlireatened,  and  the  f^round  ig  broken,  and 
many  defiles iw^e  to  be  passed,  the  defence  of  the  convoy  becomes  more 
ditScult;  the  advance  and  rear  guards  must  be  reduced,  the  flanks 
strengthened,  and  positions  which  will  cover  the.  march  of  tlie  convoy 
must'be  occupied  by  the  main  body  of  the  troops  before  the  head  of  the 
convoy  reaches  theui,  and  until  it  has  passed. 

740.  If  the  convoy  is  large  and  has  to  pass  jjlaccs  that  the  force  and 
position  of  the  enemy  make  dangerous,  the  loss  of  the  whole  convoy 
must  not  bo  risked;  it  must  pass  by  divisions,  wliich  reunite  after  the 
passage.  In  this  case  the  greater  part  of  the  troops-guard  the  first  di- 
vision ;  they  seizo'-tho' important  points,  and  cover  them  with  light 
troops,  or,  if  necessary,  with  small  posts,  and  hold  them  until  all  the 
divisions  liave  passed. 

741.  If  there  is  artillery  in  the  convoy,  the  commander  of  the  escort 
uses  it  for  the  defence.  » 

.  74'2.  To  move  faster  and  make  the  defence  easier,  the  wagons  move 
in  double  file  whenever  the  road  allows  it.  If  a  wagon  breaks,  it  is  at 
once  removed  from  the  road  ;  when  repaired,  it  takes  the  rear  ;  when  it 
cannot  bo  repaired,  its  load  and  horses  are  distributed  to  some  of  .the 
t)ther  wagons  kept  in  the  rear-for  that  purpose. 

743.  Convoys  by  water  are  escorted  on  the  same  principles.  Each 
boat  has  ii  small  infantry  guard  ;  one  portion  of  the  escort  precedes  or 
follows  the  convoy  in  boats. "^  The  cavalry  march  opposite  tlie  coi:voy; 
the  advance  and  rear  guard  move  by  land,  and  all  are  connected  by 
flankers  with  the  convoy.  Wliere  a  river  runs  through  a  narrow  valley, 
the  b-idy  of  the  infantry  moves  by  land  to  prevent  the'cuemy  from  oo- 
cupyiiig  the  heights  and  disturbing  the  Convoy. 

'744.  Convoys  halt  every  hour  to  let  the  horses  take  breath  and  the 
wagons  close  up:  Long  halts  are  made  but  seldom,  and  only  in  places 
that  have  been  reconnoitered  and  found  favorable  for  defence.  At  night 
the  park  is  arranged  for  defence,  and  in  preference  at  a  distance  from 
inhabited  places,  if  in  an  enemy's  country. 

745.  The  wagons  are  usually  parked  in  ranks,  axle  against  axle,  the 


poles  in  ttie  same  airectton,  ana  wun  sumcieni  Bj'ace  nuiwecn  mo  iau».s 
for  tlje  horses.  If  an  attack  i*i  feaj^,  they  are  parked  in  square,  the 
liin  1  wheels  outside,'  and  the  hors^Bhsido. 

746.  On  the  appearance  of  th^^nemy  during  the  march,  the  com- 
mander closes  up  the  wagons  and  contimies  his  mandi  in  order;  he 
avo.ids  flighting;  but  if  the  enemy  seizes  aj)osition  that  commands  his 
road,  he  attacks  porously  with  the  mass  of  his  force,  but  is  not  to  con- 
tinue the  pursuit  far  from  the  convoy.  The  convoy  halts,  and  resumes 
the  m  irch  when  tlie  position  is  carried. 

747.  When  the  enemy  is  too  strong  to  be  attacked,  the  convoy  )g 
parked  in  square  if  there  is  room;  if  not  closed  up  in  double  file;  at 
'the  front  and  roar  the  road  is  blocked  by  wagons  across  it.  The  drivers 
arc  dismounted  at  the  heads  of  the  hor-es.  They  are  not  permitted  to 
make  their  escape.  The  light  troops  keep  the  enemy  at  a  distance  aa 
long  as  posaible,  and  are  supported  when  necessary,  but  pYudently,  aB 
the"troops  must  be  kept  in  hand  to  resist  the  main  attack. 


7(5  BAtiOAUK    TltAINa. 

748.  If  a  wagon  takes  fire  iu  the  ptiik,  remove  it  if  poesible ;  if  not, 
remove  first  the  ammunition  wagons,  then  those  to  leeAvard  of-  the  tire. 

749.  When  a  whole  convoy  cgwv  not  be  saved,  the  moi^t  valuable  ]>art 
may  sometimes  be  by  abandoning  the  rest.  If  all  efforts  fail,  ami  there 
is  no  hope  of  succor,  the  convoy  must  be  set  on  iire  a^  -the  hor^e^ 
killed  that  cannot  ))e  saved  ;  the  escort  may  then   cut  its  way  through. 

\  750.  If  the  convoy  is  of  prisoners  of  war,  every  effort  should  be  made 
to  reach  a  village  or  strong  building  where  they  may  be  confined  ;  if 
forced  to  fight  in  the  field,  the  prisoners  must  be  secured  and  made  to  lie 
down  until  the  action  is  over. 

BAOGAGE   TRAINS, 

751.  The  baggage  train  of  general  headquarters  and  "the  trains  of  tho 
several  divisions  are  each  under  the  charge  of  an'oificer  of  the  Quarter- 
master's Department.  These  ofiicefs  command  and  conduct  the  trains 
under  the  orders  they  receive  from  their  respective  headrinarters.  When 
the  trains  of  different  divisions  march  together,  or  the  train  of  a  division 
marches  with  the  train  of  general  headquarters,  the  senior  Quartermas- 
ter directs  the  whole. 

752.  The  regimental  Quartermaster  has  charge  of  the  wagons,  horses, 
equipments,  and  ail  means  of  transport  employed  in  the  service  of  the 
regiment.  Under  the  orders  of  the  Colonel,  he  assembles  them  for  the 
march,  Trmd  maintains  the  order  and  police  of  the  train  in  par^  on  the 
march.  On  marches,  the  regimental  trains  are  under  the  orders  of  the 
Quartermaster  of  the  division.  When  the  march  is  by  brigade,  the 
senior  Regimental  Quartermaster  in  the  brigade,  or  the  Quartermaster 
of  the  brigade  has  the  direction  of  the  whole.  The  necessary  wtigou- 
masters,  or  non-commissioned  officers  to  act  as  such,  are  employed  with 
the' several  trains. 

753.  None  but  the  authorized  wagons  are  allowed  to  march  with  the 
train.  The  wagons  of  the  several  heac'quarters,  the  regimental  wagons, 
and  the  wagons  of  sutlers  authorized  by  orders  from  headquarters  to 
march  with  the  train,  ilre  all  to  be  conspicuously  marked. 

754.  When  the  train -of  headquarters  is  to  have  a  guard,  the  strength 
of  the  guard  is  regulated  by  the  General.  Generals  of  Brigade  guard 
their  trains  by  the  men  attached  to  the  train  of  the  first  regiment  of 
their  brigades.  The  regimental  trains  are  loaded,  unloaded,  and  guard- 
ed<  as  far  as  practicable,  by  conval^^nts  and  men  not  effective  int  the 
ranks;  in  the  cavalry,  by  dismount^wien.  When  the  guard  of  a  train 
is  the  escort  for  its  defence,  tiio  regiilations  in  regard  to  convoys  and 
escorts  take  effect. 

755.  Habitually  each  division  is  followed  by  its  train,  the  regimental 
trains,  uniting  at  the  brigade  rendezvous.  When  otlI?rwise,  the  order 
for  the  movement  of  tho  divisions,  brigades,  and  regiments  contains  the 
.»caxi=Knry  flircctions  in  regard  to  the  assembling  and  marching  of  the 
respective  trains.  The  several  trains  march  in  an  order  analogous  to 
the  rank  of  the  generals,  and  the  order  of  battle  of  the  troops  to  which 
they  belong.  Trains  are  nut  allowed  in  any  case  to  be  in  the  midst  of  ' 
the  troop?,  or  to  impede  the  inarch  of  the  troops. 

756.  The  wagon-masters,  under  the  orders  oT  the  ofiicers  of  the  Quar- 
termaster's Department,  exercise  the  necessary  restraints  over  the 
teamsters  and  servants  who  leave  their  teams,  or  do  not  properly  con-

757.  The  General  aimmanding  the  army  and  the  Generals  oF  Division 
wilt  not  permit  any  "general  or  sstaff  officer,  oi  regiment  under  their  or- 
ders, or  any  person  whatsoever,  attached  to  their  command,  to  have

purpose  they  will  themselves  make,  and  cause  to  he  made,  frequent  lo-* 
views  and  inspections  of  the  trains.  They  will  see  that  no  trooper  is 
employed  to  lead  a  private  horse,  no  soldier  to  dVive  a  private  vehicle, 
and  that  no  trooper  is  put  on  foot 'to  lend  his  horse  to  an  ofijoer.  They 
will  not  permit  the  wagons  of  the  artillery  or  of  the  train  to  he  loaded 
witli  anytliing  foreign  to  tiieir  proper  service,  nor  any  public  horse,  for 
any  occasion,  tp  be  harnessed  to  a  private  carriage. 

758.  The  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department,  the  wagon  mas- 
ters, and  all  conductors  of  trains,  are  charged  with  watching  that  the 
regulations  respecting  transportation  allowances  are  strictly  observed. 

OENERAL    POLICE. 

750.  When  neeessaiy,  the  Gencral-in-chief  oi*  General  of  Division 
may  appoint  a  provost  marshal  to  take  charge  of  prisoners,  with  a  suit-  * 
able  guard,  or  other  police  force. 

760.  Private  servants,  not  soldiers,  will  not  be  allowed  to  wear  the 
uniform  of  any  corps  of  the  army  ;  but  each  will  be- required  to  carry 
with  him  a  certificate  ft'om  the  officer  who  employs  him,  verified,  for 
regimental  oflicers,  by  the  signature  ot  the  Colonel;  for  other- officers 
under  the  rank  of  Colonel,  by  the  chief  of  their  corps  or  department. 

761.  Laundresses  jjermitted  to  follow  the  army  will  be  furnished  with

character  will  be  allowed  to  follow  the  army.  Other  persona  with  the 
army,  not  officers  or  soldiers,  such  as  guides  of  the  country,  interpre- 
ters, &c.,  will  carry  about  them  similar  certificates  from  the  head  quar-

762.  Deserters .  from  the  e;iemy,  after  being  examined,  will  be  se- 
cured for  some  days,  as,. they  may  be  spies  in  disguise  ;  a»  opportunities 
offer,  they  will  be  sent  to  the  roar  ;  after  which,  if  they  are  found  lurk-

SAFEGUARDS.  •  • 

766.  Safeguards  are  protections  granted  to  persons  or  property  in 
foreign  parts  by  the  commanding  general,  or  by  other  commanders 
within  the  limits  of  their  command. 

767.  Safeguards  are  usually  given  to  protect  hospitals,  public  estab- 
lishments, establishments  of  religion,  charity,  or  instruction,  museums, 
depositories  of  the  arts,  mills,  post-offices,  and  other  institutions  of  pub- 
lic benefit ;  also  to  individuals  whom  it  may  be  the  interest  of  the  army 
to  respect. 

768.  A  safeguard  may  consist  of  one  or  more  men  of  fidelity  and 
firmness,  generally  noneffective  non-commissioned  officers,  furnished 
with  a  paper  setting  out  clearly  the  protection  nnd  exemptions  it  is  in- 
tended to  secure,  signed  by  the  commander  giving  it,  and  his  staff  of- 
ficer ;  or  it  may  consist  of  such  paper,  delivered  to  the  pnrly  whose  per- 
eon,  family,  house  and  property  it  is  designed  to  protect.  These  safe- 
guards must  be  numbered  and  registered.      • 

7,69.  The  men  left  as  safeguards  by  one  corps  may  be  replaced  by 
another.  They  are  withdrawn  when  the  country  is  evacuated  ;  but  if 
not,  they  have  orders  to  await  ,ihe  iirrival  of  the  enemy's  troops,  and 
apply  to  the  commander  for  a  safe-conduct  to  the  outposts.

:.  SIEGES. 

771.  In  the  following  regulations  the  besieging  force  is  suppof  ed  to 
be  two  divisions  of  infantry  and  a  brigade  of  cavalry.  The  same  prin- 
ciples govern  in  other  cases. 

772.  The  Brigadier-Generals  of  infantry  serve,  in  turn,  ns  Generals 
of  the  trenches  ;  one  or  more  of  them  are  detailed  daily,  according  (o 
the  front  and  number  of  attacks  :  they  superintend  the  operations,  aiid 
dispose  the  guards  of  the  trenches  to  repulse  sorties  and  protect  the 
works:  Officers  of  the  general  staff  are  assigned  to  theni  to  trr.nfmifc 
their  orders  and  attend  to  the  details  of  service. 


773.  The  Colonela  and  Lieutenant-Colonels  of  infantry  nlternnte  for 
duty  in  tlie  tienches  ;  one  or  more  are  detailed  daily  ;  they  superintend, 
the  service  of  the  guards  and  workmen  in  the  part  of  the  work  to 
which  the  general  of  the  trenches  assign  them,  being  posted  with  troops 
of  their  own  regiments  in  preferonCe.  The  comxnandant  of  the  siege 
may  place  the  Colonels  on  the  roster  with  the  Brigadier-Generals. 

774.  Tlie  commandant  of  engineers  and  artillery  accompany  the 
first  troo.ps  before  (he  place  to  examine  the  works  aiid  the  approaches. 
Wh.en  the  engineers  have  completed  tlie  rcconnoisance  of  the  wojka, 
and  of  each  front  as  far  as  practicable,  the  commandant  of  engineers 
makes  a  plijn  o£  the  works  as  exact  and  detailed  as  possible,  and  under 
the  instructions  of  the  Oeneral  commanding  the  siege,  draws  up  the 
•general  plan  of  the  siege,  and  discusses  it  with  tlie  con\mandant  of  ar- 
tillery in  regard  to  the  best  employment  of  that  arm.  These  oWcers 
then  sultmit  their  joint  or  separate  opinions  to  the  General  who  decides 
on  the  plan  of  the  siege,  and  give  the  orders  for  the  execution.  The 
commandant  of  engineers  directs  the  construction  of  all  the  works  of  , 
the  ^ego;  under  the  authority  of  the  General,  and  lays  before  him  every 
day  a  report  bf  his  operations,  and  a  plan  shgwing  the  progress  of  the 
ftitnck.  The  commandant  of  artillery  also  makes  daily  reports  to  the 
General  of  all  that  relates  to  his  branch  of  the  service. 

775.  The  Quartermaster-General  establishes  the  hospitals,  and  or- 
ganizes the  means  for  transporting  the  wounded  to  them. 

776.  The  commanding  General  appoints  a  field  officer  of  the  trenchep, 
who  is  aided  by  one  or  two  Captains  or  Lieutenants. 

777.  Tlie  field  officer  of  the  trenches  is  charged  with  all  the  details 
relative  to  the  asseaibling  of  the  guards  and  the  workmen.  He  distri- 
butes the  guards  on  the  different  points  of  the  attack  agreeably  to  the 
orderf  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  forms  the  detachment  of 
workmen  for  the  engineers  and  artillery  ;  that  he  may  be  prepared  for 
this  distribution,  he  receives  every  day  from  the  Adjutant  General  a 
statement  of  tlve  details  for  the  next  day. 

77*^.  On  the  arrival  of  the  General  of  the  trenches,  the  field  oflBcer  of 
the  trenches  gives  him  all  tlie  information  necessary  to  enable  him  to 
station  the  troops,  attends  him  in  his  ^isit  to'the  trenches,  and  takes 
his  orders  on  the  changes  to  make  in  the  position  of  the  ttuop«.  The 
execution  is  intrusted  to  the  commandan's  of  the  troops. 

779.  The  field  officer  of  the  trenches  sees  that  men  and  litters  are 
always  ready  to  bring  off  the  won-Jgd.  One  or  more  companies  of  the 
guariis  of  the  trenches  are  put  under  bis  immediate  orders  for  the  pre- 

'eervation  of  order  and  police  in  the  trenches. 

780.  Thedivision«.  brig.ides,  regiments,  and  battftlions,  are  encamped 
during  the  siege  in  the  order  of  battle.  The  service  of  camp  is  con- 
dufteil  as  hert'tofore  prescribed; 

7Hl.  Tht;  infantry  has  two  kind  of  siege  service-r-the  guard  of  the 
treuches  and  the  work  of  the  trenches. 

782.  *?;  e  guards  of  the  tr«nches  mount  every  day  by  battalions,  in 
guch  order  of  detail  that  all  the  troops  may  take  an  equal  share,  and 
no  part  of  the  lino  be  left  too  weak.  If  only  one  battalion  is  required, 
each  division  furnishes  it  alternately  ;  if  two  are  required,  each  divi- 
giou  gives  one  ;  if  threey  one  division  furnishes  two,  the  other  one,  nl- 


80  »l£OEB. 

ternately.     The  two  battalions  of  the  same  divisions  are  not  taken  from 
the  same  brigade. 

783.  The  detail  for  work  of  the  trenches  is  by  company,  from  all  the 
re;2;iment3  at  one  time,  or  in  turn,  and  continues  ^'enerally  twelve  hours.. 
The  detail  from  any  regiment  should  never  be  less  than  a  company.  If 
only  half  a  company  would  be  needed  from  all  the  regiments  at  a  time, 
every  other Tegimcnt  furnishes  a  full  company  alternately. 

784.  Th§  battalions  for  guard  are  detailed  at  least '  twelve  hours;  in 
advance  ;  they  furnish  no  other  details  during  this  tour.  If  the  whole 
regiment  is  called  out,  it  leaves  a  sufficient  police  guard  in  camp. 

785.  Twenty-four  hours,  or  twelve  at  least,  Ijefore  mounting  guard  in 
the  trenches,  the  battalions  detailed  for  guard  do  not  furnish  workmen; 
and  .the  companies   of  these  battalions  whose  tour  it  would  have  been- 
to  work  in   the  trenches   do  nt)t   go  there   for  twenty-four  hours  after 
guard,  if  possible,  or  at  the  least  twelve. 

786.  The  workmen  who  are  required  for  other  work  than  that  of  the 
trenches,  are  taken  from  the  roster  for  fatigue  from  the  battalions  and 
companies  not  employed  in  the  trenches. 

787.  The  battaliX)b8  fir?;t  for  detail  for  guard  of  tlie  trenches,  and  the 
companies  first  for  detail  for  work  in  the  trenches,  furnish  no  other  do-' 
t-ails,  and  are  held  on  picket,  ready  to  march  at  the  call  of  the  field  offi- 
cer of  the  trenches, 

788.  Materials  for  the  siego,  such  as  fascines,  gabions,  hurdles,  pick- 
ets, &c.,  are  furnished  by  the  different  corps,  in  the  proportion  ordered 
by  the  General. 

789.  Guards  and  workmen  going  to  the  trenches,  march  withoui  beat 
of  drum  or  music.  '  " 

790.  At  "all  times,  and  especially  on  the  day  the  trenches  are  ojfened, 
everything  is  avoided  likely  to  attract  the  attention  of  the  enemy.  With 
this  view,  the  General  may  vary  the  hour  of  relieving  guards. 

791.  The  chiefs  of  engineers  and  artillery  make  requisitions  for 
"workmen  in  advance,  that  the  details  may  be  made  invtime  to  prevent 
any  delay  in  the  work.  They  should  exceed  the- number  strictly  re- 
quired, that  there  may  be  a  reserve  for  unforeseen  wants.  If  this  re- 
serve is  found  insufficient,  the  General  directs  the  field  officer  of  the 
trenches  to  call  on  the  picket. 

792.  Before  the  guards  and  workmefi  march,  the  field  officer  of  the 
tranches  arranges  them  so  that  each  detachment  can  reach  its  ground 
without  confusion.  The  troops  tire  posted  in  the  trenches  according  to 
the  popition  of  their  regiments  in  the  order  of  battle,  and,  as  far  as 
possible,  the  companies  of  workmen  in  like  order.  The  reserves  of 
workmen  are  placed  at  the  depot  of  the  trenches,  or  the  nearest  suita- 
ble place  to  the  works. 

793.  The  workmen  leave  their  knapsacks  and  swords  in  camp,  and 
march  with  their  fire-arms  and  cartridge-boxes,  which' tliey  place  near 
them  while  at  work.  They  always  carry  their  overcoats,  to  cover  them 
in  resting  or  when  wounded. 

794.  The  guards  always  enter  the  trenches  with  arms  trailed,  and 
the  yrorkmon  also,  unless  they  carry  materials  or  tools,  when  the  arms 
are  in  the  sling. 

795.  The  jguards  and  detachments  of  workman  send  a  Corporal  to  the 


8IEQES.  81 

openings  of  the  lirenches  to  guide  tlie  relief.     They  march  out  of  tha 
trendies  liy  the  lUnk,  with  trailed  arma. 

.7'JG.  Sninibags,  forming  loop-hole^,  are  placed  at  intervals  on  the 
parapet  tp  prot.5ct  the  Bentinels  ;  tliej  are  more  numerous  than  the  sen- 
tinels, so  that' the  enemy  may  not  know  where  the  sentinels  are  placed. 

797.  When,  detaehments  are  placed  at  night  in  advauoe  of  the 
trencheo,  to  cover  ihe  workmen,  the  men  sit  or  lie  down,  with  their 
fire-arms  in  their  hands,  to  hide  themselves'  better  from  thft  enemy; 
the  sentinels  put  their  ears  to  the  ground  frequently,  that  they  may 
hear  troops  coming  out  of  the  place.  To  prfevent  mistakes,  the  work- 
men are  told  what  troops  cover  them. 

7',^8.  No  honors  are  paid  in  the  trenches.  When  the  General  com- 
manding the  siege  visits  them,  the  guards  place  themsalves  in  rear  of 
th<J  banquette,  and  rest  on  their  arms.  The  colors  are  never  carried 
to  the  trenches  unless  the  whole  regiment  marches  to  repulse  ;i  sortie 
or  make  an  assiiult.  Even  in  this  case,  they  are  not  displayed  until  the  _ 
General  commani^ng  the  siege  gives  a  formal  order. 

799.  The  materials  of  the  siege  of  all  kinds,  together  with  the  tools, 
are  collected  in  part  at  the  depots  of  the  trenches,  and  in  part  at  the 
opening  of  the  trenches,  or  in  such  other  place  as  has  been  appointed 
for  the  convenience  of  the  service  by  the  field  offii^rs  of  the  tranches,  on 
the  advice  of  the  chiefs  of  artillery  and  engineers.  They  arc, in  charge 
of  otficers  of  engineers  and  artillery,  with  guards  or  non-commissioned 
officers  of  both  corps.  But  if  these  corps  cannpt  furnish  them,  the 
chiefs  apply  for  assistance  from  the  infantry. 

800.  The  workmen,  in  going  to  the  trenches,  carry  such  tools  and 
materials  as  are  required  by  the  artillery  and  engineers.  In  this  case, 
the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  has  notice  and  t-uperintends  it. 

801.  Tho  soldiers  sent  to  the  trenches  go  with  their  cartridge-boxes 
filled.  Cartridges,  when  needed,  arc  sent  to  the  trenches  on -the  re- 
quisition of  commanders  of  battalions,  approve'd  by  the  General  of 
the  trenches. 

802.  In  the  case  of  a  sortie,  the  guards  move  rapidly  to  the  places 
that  have  been  designated  bj'  the  General  of  the  trenches,  and  which' 
affords  tlie  best  defence  for  the  head  of  the  works,  the  batteries,  the  com- 
munications, or  the  flanks,  or  bcbt  enable  them  to  take  the  sortie  itself 
in  flank  or  reverse.  Having  Fined  the  banquette  to  fire  on  the  enemy, 
the  troops  form  on  the  reverse  of  the  trench  to  receive  him.  The  work- 
men take  arrajs,  retain  their  positions,  or  retire  with  their  tools,  as  or- 
dered. The  oflicers  commanding  the  detachments  of  workmen  see  that 
their  movements  are  made  promptly  and  in  good  order,  so  us  to  avoid 
all  confusion  in  the  communicativns. 

S03.  The  troops  tiiat  advance  beyond  the  trenches  to  repulse  the 
sortie,  must  n<'t  follow  in  pursuit  The  General  takes  care  that  .they 
return  to  the  trenches  before  the  retreat  of  the  sortie  allows  the  artil- 
lery of  the  place  to  open  on  them.  When  the  workmen  return,  the 
officers  and  non  commissioned  ifficers  of  the  detachments  call  the  roll 
without  interrupting  the  work,  which  is  immediately  resumed. 

804.  When  it  is  necessary  to  di.-mount  cavalry  and  bend  them  to  the 
tretuhes,  they  should  be  employed  as  near  their  camp  as  possible,  and 
posted  between  the  detachments  of  infantry. 


82  FORTIFIED    PLACES. 

805.  Men  belonging  to  the  ca^'alry  may,  in  a^aultS,  bo  employed  in 
carrying  fascines  arid  other  Hiaterials  to  fill  ditches  and  make  passages. 

806.  The  general  oiEcers  of  cavalry  are  more  particularly  employed 
in  the  service  of •  posts  and  detachments  placed  in  observatiun  to  protect 
the  siege..  They  and  the  field  officers  of  this  arm  are  employed  in  the 
Command  of  escorts  to  convoys,  of  whatever  arms  the  escorts  may  be 
composed.  When  these  duties'are  not  sufficient  to  employ  them,  they 
take-therr  share  of  fehe  duty  of  the  trenches.  , 

807.  The  officers  of  engineers  and  artilloryof  the  trenches  make  to 
the  General  of  the  trenches  a  return  of  all  losses  in  their  troops,  and 
such  other  reports  on  the  work  as  he  requires,  in  addition  to  the  reports 
direct  to  their  respective  chiefs  on  the  details  of  the  service. 

808.  At  th(i  end  of  each  tour,  the  field  officer  of  the  trenches  draws 
up  a  report'for  the  twenty-four  hours  to  the  General  of  the  trenches. 
The  General  of  the  trenches  reports  to  the  General,  commanding  the 
8ieg,e.  ■  .         » 

809.  The  commanders  of  the  several  corps  in  th^  trenches  report, 
when  relieved,  to  their  respective  headquarters  the  losses  during'the 
tour,  and  the  conduct  of  the  officevs  an-d  men. 

810.  However  practicable  the  breach  may  appear,  or  however  ruined 
the  work  in  rear  of  \L  the  heads  of  columns  must  always  be  supplied 
with  ladders  to  get  over  unexpected  obstacles. 

811.  The  General  commanding  , the  siege  designates  picked  compa- 
nies to  protect  property  and  persons,  and  prevent  pillage  and  violence, 
from  the  moment  th6  place  is  carried.     I'he  officers  exert  themselves  to ' 
restrain  the  men. 

81'2.  The  General  designates  the  places  requiring  particular  protec- 
tion, such  as  churches,  asylums,  hospitals,  colleges,  schools  and  maga- 
zines. The  order  of  the-r  protection  should  remind  the  soldiers,  at  the 
time,  t)f  the  penalty  of  disobeying  it. 

813.  Whether  the  place  be  tuken  by  assault  or  by  capitulation,  the 
provisions  and  the  military  stores,  and  the  public  funds,  are  reserved 
fur  the  use  of  the  army.  '     .  " 

814.  The  commander  of  engineers  will  keep  a  journal  of  the  siege, 
showing  the  operations  of  each  day  in  detail,  the  force  employed  on  the 
work,  the  kind  and  quantity  of  materials  used  in  them,  &c.  He  will 
also  mark  on  a  plan  of  tlfe  ground  the  daily  progress  of  the  works,  and 
make  the  necessary  drawings  explanatory  of  their  construction. 

815.  The  commander  uf  the  artillery  will  keep  a  daily  journal  of  the 
operations  under  his  direction,  showing  the  number  and  kind  of  pieces 
in>  battery,  the  force  employed  in  serving  them,  the  kind  and  quantity 
of  ammunition  expended,  the  number  of  rounds  fired  from  each  piece 
of  ordnance,  the  effect  of  the  fire,  and  all  other  particulars  relative  to 
his  branch  of  the  service. 

816.  These  journals  and'drawings  will  be  sent  after  the  siege,  with 
the  report  of  the  General,  to  the  War  Department. 

DEFENCE  OF  FORTIFIED  PLACES. 

817.  In  war,  every  commander  of  a  fortified  place  shall  always  hold 
himself  prepared  with  his  plan  of  defence,  as  if  at  any  titne"  liable  to 
attack.  He  arranges  this  plan  according  to  the  probable  mode  of  at- 
tack ;  determihcs  the  posts  of  the  troops  in  the  several  parts  of  the 


FORTIFIEB   PLAGES.  88 

works,  tlie  reliefs,  the  reserves,  and  the  details  of  service  in  all  the 
corps.  He  draws  up  instructions  for  nrcase  of  attack,  and  exercises  the 
garrison  according  to  his  plan  of , defence.  In  sea-coast  works  he  pro- 
•vides  the  instructions  for  the  ^different  batteries  on  the  approach  of 
ship,-.  •  ^ 

818.  In  framiiifr  his  plan,  he  studies  the  works  and  the  exterior -with- 
in the  radius  uf  attack  asid  investment,"  the  strength  of  thegarjjison,  the 
artillery,  the  munitions  of  war,  subsistence  and  supplies  of  all  kinds, 
and  takes  immediate  measures  to  procure  whatever  is  deficient  of  troops 
or  supplies,  either  by  requisition  on  the  Government,  or  from  the  means 
put  at  his  disposal. 

819.  OgiJilie  approach  of  an  enemy,  he  removes  all  houses  and  other 
objects,  within  or  without  tlfe  place,  tiiat  cover  the  approaches,  or  in- 
terrupt the  fire  of  the  guns  or  the. movements  of  the  troops.  He  as- 
sures himself  personally  th'at  all  posterns,  outlets,, or  embrasures,  &c,, 
are  in  proper  state  of  security. 

820.  Ife  shall  be  furnished  by  thf.  Department  of  War  with  a  plan  of 
tho  works,  showing  all  the  details  of  the  fortifications  and  of  the  exte- 
rior  within  the  radius  of  attack  ;  with  a  map  of  the  envinms  within  the 
radius  of  investment;  with  a  map  of"the  vicinity,  including  the  neighs 
loring  works,  roads,  water  channels,  coasts,  &c.  ;  with  a  memoir  ex- 
plaining the  situation  and  defence  of  the  place,  and  the  relations  and 
ijearings  of  the  several  works  on  each  other,  and  on  the  approaches  by 
land  and  water — all  which  he  -carefully  preserves,  and  communicates 
only  to  the  council  of  defence. 

831.  fie  consults  his  next  in  rank,  and  the  senior  officer  of  the  engi- 
neers and  of  the  artillery,  either  separately,  or  as  a  council  of  defence. 
In  the  latter  case,  he  designates  an  officer  to  act  as  secretary  to  the 
council,  and  to  record  their  proceedings  and  their  joint  or  separate 
opinions,  which  are  to  be  kept  secret  during  fho  siegg.  The  members 
may  record  their  opinions  under  their  own  signature.  In  all  cases,  the 
commander  decides  on  his  own  responsibility.  ~ 

822.  The  comm.inder  of  the  place,  and  the  chiefs  of  engineers  and  of 
artillery,  shall  keep  journaJs  of  the  defence,  in.  which  shall  be  entered, 

,  in  oYder  of  date,  without  blank  or  interlineation,  the  orders  given  or 
receive*!,  the  manner  in  which  they  are  .executed,  their  results,  and 
every  event  and  circumstance  of  importance  in  the  progress  of  the  de^ 
fence.  These  journals,-  and  the  proceedings  of  the  council  of  defence, 
shall  be  sent,  after  the  siege,  to  the  Department  of  War. 

823.  There  shall  be  kept  in  the  office  of  the  commandant  of  the  place, 
to  be  sent  after  the  siege  to  the  Department  of  War,  a  map  of  the  envi- 
rons, a  plan  of  the  fortifications,  and  a  special  plan  of  tJtfe  front  of  at- 
tack, on  which  the  chief  engineer  wiiF trace,  in  succession,  the  positions 
occupied,  and  the  works  executed  by  the  enemy  from  the  investment; 
and  also  the  works  of  counter  approach  of  defence,  and  tho  successive 
positions  of  the  artillery  and  other  troops  of  the  garrison  during  the 
progress  of  the  siege. 

S24.  Tho  commander  shall  defend  in  succession  the  advanced  works, 
the  covered  way  and  outworks,  the  body  of  the  work,  atrd  the  interior 
Cfflrenchmcnts.  He  will  not  be  content  with  clearing  awny  the  foot  of 
the  bri!ai  hes,  and  defending  them  by  abattis,  mines,  and  all  tho  means 
used  in  sieges  ;  but  he  shall  begin  in  good  time,  bebind.the  bMtlQpe  or

front  of  attack,  the  necessary  entrenchments  to  resist* assaults  on  the 
main  work.  * 

825.  He  shall  use  his  means  of  defence  fn  such  manner  as  always  t(X 
have  a  reserve  of  fresh  troops,  chosfen'from  his  best  soldiers,  to  resist 
assaults,  re-take  the  outworks,  and  especrally  to  resist  assaults  on  the 
body  of  the  place  ;  and  a  reserve  of  provisions  for  th*  last  period  of  the 
siege,  aad  of  ammunition  for  the  last  attacks. 

826.  He  must,  in  every  case,  compel  the  besieging  force  to  approach 
by  the  slow  and  successive  works  of  siege,  and  must  sustain  at  least 
one  assault  on  a  practicable  breach  in  the  body  of  the  place^ 

827.  When  the  commander  thinks  that  the  end  of  the  defence,  has 
come,  he  shall  still  consult  the  council  of  defence  on  th^'-ineans  that 
may  remain  to  prolong  the  siege.  But  in  all  cases  he  alone  will  decide 
on  the  time,  manner,  and  terms  of  the  surrender.  In  the  capitulation, 
he  shall'  hot  seek  or  accept  better  terms  for  himself  than  for  the  garri- 
son, but  shall  share  their  fate,  and  exert  his  best  endeavors  for  the  care 
of  the  troops,  and  especially  of  thesick  and  wounded. 

828.  No  commander  in  the  field  shall  withdraw  troops  or  supplies  from 
any  fortified  place,  or  exorcise  any  authority  over  its  commandant,  un- 
less it  has  been  put  subject  to  his  orders  by  competent  authority. 

ARTICLE  XXXVII. 

TROOPS   ON    BOARD   OF    TRANSPORTS. 

829.  Military  commanders  charged  -with  the  embarkation  of  troops, 
and  officers  of  the  Quartermaster's  Department  intrusted  witR  the  se- 
lection of  the  transports,  will  take  care  that  the  vessels  are  entirely  sea- 
worthy and  proper  for  such  service,  and  suitable  arrangements  are 
made  in  them  for  the  heaUh  and  comfort  of  the  troops. 

830.  If,  in  tha  opinion  of  the  officer  commanding  the  troops  to  be  em- 
barked, the  vessel  is  not  proper  or  suitably  arranged,  the  officer  charged 
with  the  embarkation  shall  cause  her  to  be  inspected  by  coippetent  and 
experienced  persons. 

831.  Immediately  after  embarking,  the  men  will  be. aligned  to  quar- 
ters, equal  parties  on  both  sides  of  the  ship,  and  no  man  will  be  al- 
lowed to  loiter  or  sleep  on  the  opposite  side.  As  far  as  practicable,  the 
men  of  each  company  will  be  assigned  to  the  same  part  of  the  vessel, 
and  the  squads,  in  the  same  manner,  to  contiguous  berths.  • 

832.  Arms  will  be  so  placed,  if  there  be  jio  racks,  as  to  be  secure  from 
injury,  and  enable  the  men  to  handle  them  promptly  ;  bayonets  unfixed 
and  in  scabbard. 

,  833.  Amn5unition  in  cartridge-boxes  to  be  so  placed  as  to  be  entirely 
secure  from  fire  ;  reserve  ammunition  to  be  reported  to  the  master  of 
the  transport,  with  request  that  he  designate  a  safe  place  of  deposit. 
Frequent  inspections  will  be  made  of  the  service  ammunition,  to  insure- 
its  safety  and  good  condition. 

834.  No  officer  is  to  sleep  out  of  his  ship,  or  to  quit  his  ship,  without 
the  sanction  of  the  officer  commanding  on  board. 

835.  The  guard  will  be  proportioned  to  the  number  of  sentinels  j;q- 
quired.  At  sea,  the  guard  will  mount  with  side-arms  only.  The  of- 
fice of  the  guard  will  be  the  officer  of  the  day. 

836.  Sentinels  will  be  kept  over  the  firep,  with  buckets  of  water  at

hand,  promptly   to   extinpinish   fires.     Smoking  is  prohibited   between 
decks  or  in  the  cabins,  iit  all  times  ;  nor  shall  any  lij^hts  be  allowed  he- . 
(ween  decks  except  such  yhip  lanterns   as  the   master  of  tlie  transport 
may  direct,  or  those  carried  by  the  officer  of  the  day  in  the  execution 
of  it  is  duty. 

837.  Regulations  will  be  adopted  to  enable  companies  or  messes  to 
cook  in  turn  ;  no  others  tlflxn  those  whose  turn  it  is  will  be  allowed  to 
loiter  round  or  approach  the  galleys  or  other  cooking  places.  • 

838.  The  commanding^  officer  will  make  arrangements,  in  concert 
with  the  master  of  the  vessel;  for  calling  the  troops  to  quarters,  so  that 
in  case  of  al&rm,  by  storm,  or  fire,  or  the  approach  of  the  enemy,  every 
man  may  repair  promptly  to  his  station.  But  he  will  take  care  not  to 
crowd  the  deck.  The  troops  not  wanted  at  the  guns,  or  to  assist  the 
sailors,  and  those  who  cannot  be  advantageously  employed  with  small 
arms,  will  be  formed  as  a  reserve  between  deckst 

839.  All  the  troops  will  turn  out  at A.  M.,  without  arms  or 

uniforms,  and  (in  warm  weather)  .without  shoes  or  stockings;  when 
every  individual  will  be  clean^  his  hands,  face  and  feet  washed,  and  his 
hair  combed.  The  same  personal  inspection  will  be  repeated  thirty 
minutes  before  sunset.  The  cooks  alone  will  bejeiempte^  from  one  of 
<liese  inspections  per  day,  if  necessary. 

84^1.  Recruits  or  awkward  men  will  be  exercised  in  the  morning  and 
evening  in  the  use  of  arms,  an  hour  each  time,  when  the  weather  will 
'permit.  ^ 

841.  Officers  will  enforce  cleanliness  as  indispensable  to  health. 
When  the  weather  will  permit,  bedding  will  be  brought  on  deck  every 
morning  for  airing.  Tiubs  may  be  fixed  on  the  forecastle  for  bathing, 
or  the  men  may  be  placed  in  the  chains  and  have  buckets  of  water 
thrown  over  them. 

842.  Jiefw^en  decks  will  not  be  washed  oftener  than  once  a  week,  and 
only  when  the  weather  is  tine.  The  boards  of  the  lower -berths  will  be 
removed  once  or  twice  a  week  to  change  the  straw.  Under  the  direc- 
tion of  the  Surgeon  and  the  officer  of  the  day,  frequent,  fumigations  will 
be  performed  between  decks.  The  materials  required  are — common 
salt,  four  ounces;  powdered  oxide  of  manganese,  one  aunc^;  sulphurio 
acid,  one  ounce,  diluted  with  two  ounces  of  water.  The  diluted  acid  Is 
poured  over  the  other  ingredients  in  a  basin  placed  in  a  hot  sand  bath. 
Solutions  of  chloride  of  lime  and  chloride  of  zinc  are  excellent  disin- 
fecting agents. 

843.  During  voyages  in  hot  weather,  the  master  of  the  vessel  will  be 
desired  to  provide  wind  sails,  which  will  be  kept  constantly  hung  up, 
and  frequently  examined,  to  see  that  they  draw  well  and  are  nut  ob- 
structed. 

844.  During  cooking  hours,  the  officers  of  companies  visit  the  ca- 
boose, and  see  that  the  messes  are  well  prepared.  The  coppers  and 
other  cooking  utensils  are  to  be  regularly  and  well  washed,  both  be/ore 
and  after  use.  , 

845.  The  bedding  will  be  replaced  in  the  berths  at  sunset,  or  at  an 
earlier  hour  whep  there  is  ^a  prospect  of  bad  weather;  and  at  tattoo 
every  man  not  on  duty  will  be  in  his  berth.  To  fnsuTe  the  execution 
of  th?s  regulation,  the  officer  of  the  Uay,  with  a  lantern,  will  make  a 
tour  between  deokf. 


86  'TR00i?S   ON   BOARD   OF   TRANSPORTS. 

846.  Lights  will  be  extinguished  at  tattoo,  except  such  as  are  placed 
under  sentinels.  The  officer  of  the  day  will  see  to  it,  and  report  to  the 
commanding  officer.  The  officers'  lights  will  be  extinguished  at  10 
o'clock,  unless  special  permission  be  given  to  continue  them  for  a  longer 
time,  as  in  case  of  sickness  or  other  emergency. 

847.  For  the  sake  of  exercise,  the  troops  will  be  occasionally  called 
to  quarters  by  the  beat  to  arms.  Those  appointed  to  the  guns  will  be 
frequently  exercised  in  the  use  of  tbem.  The  arms  and  accoutrements 
will  be  frequently  inspected.  The  metalic  parts  of  th&  former  will  be 
often  wiped  amd  greased  again. 

848.  The  men  will  not  be  allowed  to  sleep  "on  deck  in  hot  weather  or 
in  the  sun ;  they  will  be  encouraged  and  required  to  take  exercise  on 
deck,  in  squads  by  succession,  when  Deceseary. 

849.  At  morning  and  evening  parades,  the  Surgeon  will  examine  the 
men,  to  observe  whether  there  be  any  appearance  of  disease. 

850.  The  sitk  will,  as  fat-  as  practicable,  be  separated  from  the 
healthy  men.  On  the  first  appearance  of  malignant  contagion,  a  signal 
will  be  made  for  the  hospital  vessel,  (if  there  be  one  in  company,)  and 
the  diseased  men  removed  to  her. 

851:  A  good  supply  of  hospital  store?  and  medicines  will.be  taken  on 
each  vessel, "and  used  only  for  the  sick  and  convalescent. 

852.  The  Surgeon  will  guard  the  men  against  costiveness  on  ap- 
proaching a  hut  climate.  In  passing  through  the  West  Indies  to  the 
Southern  coast,  for  instance,  and  for  some  weeks  after  landing  in  those 
iRitudes,  great  care  is  required  in  the  use  of  fruit,  as  strangers  would 
not  be  competent  to  judge  of  it,  and  most  kinds,  after  long  voyages,  are 
prejudicial." 

853.  In  harbor,  where  there  is  no  danger  from  sharks,  the  men  may 
bathe  ;  but  not  more  than  ten  at  a  time,  and  attended  by  a  boat. 

854.  In  fitting  up  a  vessel  for  the. transportation  of  horses,  care  is  to 
be  taken  that  the  requisite  arrangements  are  made  for  conveniently 
feeding  and  cleaning  them,  and  to  secure  them  from  injury  in  rough 
weather  by  ropes  attached  to  breast-straps  and  breeching,  or  by  other 
suitable  means ;  and  especially  that  proper  ventilation  is  provided  by 
openings  in  the  upper  deck,  wind-sails,  &c,  TWe  ventilation  of  steam- 
ers'may  be  assisted  by  using  the  engibe  for  that  purpose. 

•  855.  Horses  should  not  be  put  on  board  after  severe  exercise,  or  when 
heated.  In  hoisting  them  on  board,  the  slings  should  be  made  fast  to 
a  hook  at  the  end  of  the  fall,  or  the  knot  tied  by  an  expert  seaman,  so 
that  it  may  be  well  secured  and  easily  loosened.  The  horse  should  be 
run  up  quickly  to  prevent  him  foom  pfunging,  and  should  be. steadied. 
.  by  guide  ropes.  A  halter  is  placed  on  hiia  before  he  is  lifted  from  the 
ground.  ... 

856.  On  board,  care  is  to  be  taken  that  the  horses  are  not  over-fed; 
bran  should  forni  part  of  their  ration.  The  face,  eyes,  and  nostrils  of 
each  horse  are  to  be  washed  at  the  usual  stable  hours  ;  and  occasionally 
the  manges  should  be  washed  and  the  nostrils  of  the  horse  sponged  with 
vinegar  and  water.         • 

857.  In  loading  vessels  with  stores  for  a  military  expedition,  the

86G.  The  President  uf  a  court-martial,  besides  his  duties  and  priri-

its  business.  He  speaks  and  acts  for  the  court  in  each  case  where  the 
rule  has  been  prescribed  by  law,  regulation,  or  its  own  resolution,.  In

of  its  proceedHngs,  to  be  authenticated  by  the  signatures  of  the  Presi- 
dent and  Judge  Advocate,  who  phall  also  certify,  in  like  manner,  the 
sentence  pronounced  by  the  court  in  each  case.  The  record  must  show 
that  the  court  was  organized  as  the  law  requires ;  t-hat  the  court  and 
Judge  Advocate  were  duly  sworn  in  the  presence  of  the  prisoner;  that 
he  was  previousl}'  asked  whether  he  Lad  objection  to  any  member,  and 
his  answer  thereto.  A  copy  of  the  order  appointing  the  court  will  be 
entered  on  the  record  in  each  case. 

870.  Whenever  the  same  court-martial  tries  more  prisoners  than  one, 
and  thpy  are  arraigned  on  separate  and  distinct  charges,  the  court  is  to 
be  sworn  nt  the  commencement  of  each  trial,  and  the  proceedings  in 
each  case  will  be  made  up  separately. 

871.  The  record  shall  be  clearly  and  legibly  written  ;  as  far  as  prac- 
ticable, without  erasures  or  interlineations,  the  pages  to  be  numbered,

of  the  odd  and  bottom  of  the  even  pages  ;  through  this  last  margin  the 
sheets   to  be  stitched   together;  the  documents  accompanying   the  pro-

reference.

tence. Those  members  only  who  concur  in  the  recommendation  will 
sign  it.  •  - 

873.  The  legal  punishments  for  soldiers  by  sentence  of  a  court-mar- 
tial according  to  the  offence,  and  the  jurisdiction  of  the  court,  are — 
death/,  corporal  punishment  by  flogging';  confinement;  confinement  on 
bread  and  water  diet;  solitary  confinement;  hard  labor;  ball  and 
chain;  fori'eiture  of  pay  and  lallowances  ;  discharges  from  service;  and 
reprimands.  Solitary  eonfinemoiit,  or  conflnetiient  on  bread  and  water, 
shall  not  exceed  fuuiteen  days  at  a  time,  with  intervals  between  the 
periods  oT  such  confinement  not  less  than  such  periods,  and  not  exceed-

dior  to  any  other  person,  and  the  receipt  of  vsuch  person  will  not  be  a 
sufficient  voucher  fur  tlio  disbursing  officer.  Nor  can  a  soldier  be  ro- 
quire<i  to  receipt  for  money  paid  without  his  consent  to  another  person. 
The  law  prohibits  any  receipt  or  voucher  inaccounts  of  public  money, 
unless  the  full  amount  of  the  receiptis  paid  to  the  party  who  signed  it. 

875.  The  jurisdiction  and  authority  of  courts-martial  are  the  same 
with  reference  to  Ordnance  Sergeants  and  Hospital  Stewards  as  in  the 
cases  of  other  enlisted  men.  When,  however,  an  Ordnance  Sergeant 
or  Hospital  Steward  is  sento^iced  by  an  inferior  court  to  be  reduced  to 
the  ranks,  such  sentence,  though  it  may  be  approved  by  the  reviewing 
ofHcer,  will  not  be  carried  into  effect  until  the  case  has  been  referred 
to  the  Secretary  of  War  for  final  action.  In  these  cases  ^  reduction, 
the  application  of  the  man  for  discharge  from  s«rvioe,  though  not  re- 
cognized as  a  right,  wi]l.  generally  be  regarded  with  favor,  if  his  of- 
fence has  not  been  of  too  serious  a  nature,  and  eipecially  where  he  has 
not  been  recently  promoted  from  the  ratiks. 

SIC).  The  Jgdge  Advocate  shall  transmit  the  proceeding?,  without  do- 
lay,  to  the  officer  having  authority  t»  confirm  the  sentence,  who  shall 
state,  at  the  end  of  the  proceedings  in  each  case,  his  decision  and  or- 
ders thereon.  J 

877.  The  original  proceedings  of  all  general  courts-martial,  after  tho 
decision  on  them  of  the  reviewing  authority,  and  all  proceedid^s  that 
require  the  decision  of  the  Pr»siaent  under  the  65th  and  89th  Articles 
of  War,  and  copies  of  all  orders  confirming  or  disproving,  or  remitting 
the  sentences  of  courts-martial,  and  all  official  communications  for  the 
Judge  Advocate  of  the  army,  will  be  addressed  to  *'  "  The  Adjutant  and 
Iiixptcior-  General  of  the  Army,  War  De.pa^-iment,"  marked  on  the  cover,

be  transmitted  without  delny,  by  the  garrison  or  regimental  comman- 
der, to  the  department  headquarters  for  the  supervision  of  the  dopart- 
nient  commander. 

87'.'.  The  power  to  pardon  or  mitigate  the  punishment  ordered  by  ft 
court-martial,  is  vested  in  the  authority  confirming  the  proceedings, 
and  in  the  President  of  the  Confederate  States.  A  superior  military 
commander  to  the  (ifficer  confirming  the  proceedings  may  suspend  the 
erecution  of  the  sentence  when,  in  his  judgment,  it  is  void  upon  tho 
face  of  the  proceedings,  or  wlvcn  he  sees  a  fit  case  f)r  executive  clem- < 
ency.  In  such  cases,  the  record,  with  his  order  prohibiting  the  execu- 
tion, shall  bo  transmitted  for  the  final  orders  of  the  President.

cases  the  Secretary  of  War  shall  otherwise  direot,  shall  be  procured  by 
contract,  to  be  made  by  the  Commissary-General  on  public  notice,  to  be 
delivered  on  inspection  iii  the  bulk,  and  at  such  places  as  shall  be  stipu- 
lated ;  the  inspector  to  give  duplicate  inspection  certificates  (see  Form 
No.  15),' and  to  be  a  legal  inspector  where  there  is  such  officer. 

1098.  Purchases,  to  supply  such  oorps  and  posts  as  by  reason  of  their 
po.sition,  the  climate,  or  for  other  sufficient  cause,  the  Secretary  of  War 
may  specially  direct  to  be  supplied  in  that  Wiiy,  will  be  made  in  open 
market,  on  public  notice,  from  the  lowest  bidder  who  produces  the  pro- 
per article. 

1099.  And  whenever  a  deficiency  of  subsistence  stores  make  it  neces- 
sary to  buy  them,  the  commissary,  where  they  are  needed,  will  make  a 
requisition  for  that  purpose  on  the  proper  purchasing  commissary,  or 
buy  them  himself,  of  good  quality,  corresponding  with  the  contract. 

1100.  When  subsistence  is  received  under  contract,  the  commissary 
will  receipt  for  it  on  the  inspection  certificates  (see  Form'  No.  15.)  Ho 
will  deliver  one  of  these  to  the  contractor,  and  forward  the  other  to  the

1103.  Good  and  sufficient  .store-room  for  the  ^.subsistence  stores  will 
be  procured  by  the  eoijjmissary  from  the  Quartermaster.  Care  shall  be. 
taken  to  keep  the  store-rooms  dry  and  ventilated.  Packages  shall  be  so 
stored  as  to  allow  circulation  of  air  among  and  beneath  them.  The 
flour  should  occasionallybe  rolled  into  the  air. 

1104.  'Before  submitting,  damaged  commissary  stores  to  boards  of  sur- 
vey, the  commissary  shall  separate  and  re-pack  sound  parts. 

1105.  Wastage  on  issues,  or  from  evaporation  or'leakage,  will  be  as- 
certained quarterly,  or  when  it  can  be  most  conveniently  ;  and  the  ac- 
tual wastage  thus  found  will  be  charged  on  the  monthly  return.  Loss, 
from  whatever  cause,  exceeding  ordinary  waste,  must  be  accounted  for

effebt  that  proper  returns  were  rendered  for  the  period  charged  for. 

.1143.  A  Rpgimental  or  Depot  Commissary  of  Subsistence  may  pur- 
chase, at  first  cost  price,  of  the  Captains  or  commanding  ofScers  of  com- 
panies, in  the  service  of  the  Confederate  States,  such  articles  or  parts 
of  the  rations  as  are  not  drawn,  nor  consumed.  But  this  applie*  only 
to  such  articles  as  were  actually  rssued  and  not  consumed,  or  would  ac- 
tually have  been  issued,  and  does  not  apply  to  such  parts  of  the  ration 
as  the  Commissary  does  not  habitually  have  on  hand  for  issue. 

1144.  The  accounts  for  such  purchases  will  be  made  in  duplicate,  (see 
Form  No.  19,)  and  the  articles  will  be  taken  up  by  th&  Commissary  on

1145.  1st.  Duplicate  originals  of  all  contracts  on  account   of  subsis- 


SUBSISTENCE   BEPARTMENT.,  199 

must  be  named  therein  vrith  particularity,  .Where  the  form  is  pre- 
scribed it  will  be  followed;  in  nil  cases  contracts  must  be  drawn  up 
an<l  executed  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the  law.  Every  contract, 
whether  for  services  or  for  the  furnishing  of  supplies,  which  contem- 
plates a  partial  performance,  from  time  to  ♦ime,  continuing  until  the 
whole  duty  is  performed,  or  the  whole  delivery  of  the  enumerated  arti- 
cles is  effected,  must  provide  in  express  terms  for  its  earlier  termina- 
tion, if  the  Commissary-General  shuli  so  direct. 

1146.  Estimates  for  funds  must  he  rendered  in  duplicate.  • 

1147.  In  order  to  establish  an  invariable  rule  for  ascertaining  the 
nett  weight  of  beef  cattle  Received  on  the  hoof,  the  following  mode  is 
adopted,  rnd  for  the  future,  in  all  cases  will  be  observed  : 

1.  When  practicjiblc,  cattle  presented  for  acceptance  must  be  weighed 
upon  the  scales.  From  the  live  weight  of  a  steer,  thus  ascertained,  his 
nett  weight  shall  be   determined   by   deducting  forty  five  per  centum, 

'  when  his  gross  weight  exceeds  thirteen  hundred  (1300)  pounds,  and 
fifty  per  centum  when  it  is  less  than  that,  and  not  under  eight' hundred 
(800)  pounds. 

2.  When  it  is  impracticable  to  weigh  upon  the  scales,  one  or  more 
average  steers  must  be  selected,  killed  and  dressed  in  the  usual  manner. 
The  average  nett  weight  of  these  (neck  and  shanks  excluded)  will  be 
accepted  as  the  average  nett  weight  of  the  herd.  In  all  written  instru- 
ments for  the  delivery  of.  cattle  on  the  iioof,  the  manner  prescribed 
above,  for  ascertaining  nett  weight,  must,  in  express  terms,  bfi  inserted  ; 
in  verbal  agreements,  it  must  bo  understood  and  accepted  by  tlie  party 
delivering  the  cattle.  Vouchers  for  the  payments  of  cattle  will  state 
the  manner  pursueil  in  determining  their  nett  weight,  except  where 
payment  has  been  made  on  the  certificate  of  an  officer,  in  which  case 
the  certificate  will  state  the  nude  followed. 

3.  With  a  view  to  the  prevention  of  losses,  now  so  frequently  occur- 
ring, from  over  estimating  the  weight  of  cattle  received  on  the  hoof, 
the  serious  attention  of  officers  and  agents  serving  in  this  department, 
is  specially  called  to  the  exercise  of  greater  care  in  the  discharge  of 
this  important  duty. 

1148.  When  fresh  beef  can  be  provided,  it  will  be  issued  to  the  troops 
five  times  per  week.  When  the  circumstunces  are  favorable,  and  it  can 
be  done  with  advantage  to  the  Government,  the  Subsistence  Department 
will  keep  beef  cattle  to  supply  the  insues. 

1149.  The  following  issues  and  subttitutions  maybe  made:  When, 
from  excessive  fatigue  or  exposure,  the  commanding  oflBcer  mny  deem 
it  necesviry,  h6  may  direct  the  issue  of  whiskey  to  the  enlisted  men  of 
his  command,  not  to  exceed  a  gill  per  man  for  each  day.  Tea  may  be 
issued  in  lieu"  of  coffee,  at  the  rate  of  one  and  a  half  pounds  per  one 
hundred  rations.  Two  "issues"  per  week  of  "desiccated  vegetables," 
may  be  made  in  lieu  of  "  beans"  or  "  rice."  Potatoes  and  onions,  when 
issued,  will  alway%be  in  lieu  of  rice  or  beans.  Potatues  at  the  rate  of 
a  pound  per  ration  ;  onions  at  the  fate  of  three  pecks  per  hundred  ra- 
tions.

will  in  no  case  absent  themselves  from  their  stations  without  authority 
from  the  superintendent.

ing, rations,.and  other  allowances,  to  which  a  soldier  is  entitled  by  law, 
to  every  man  before  he  signs  the  enlistment.  If  minors  present  them- 
selves, they  are  to  bo  treated  with  great  candi>7 ;  the  names  and  resi-

ration of  a,  term  of  enlistment ;  and  I  know  of  no  impediment  to  my

with  date  and  place;  also,  a  special  report  of  the  date  of  his  arrival  at 
the  post,  the  strength  and  condition  of  the  detachment  when  turned 
over  to  the  commanding  officer,  and  all  circumetances  worthy  of  remark 
which  may  have  occurred  on  the  march.

and  descriptive  roll  furnished  him  at  the  time  of  setting  out,  properly

the  commanding  oflScer  who  makes  the  assignment.  If  the  recruits 
embraced  in  one  roll  happen  to  be  assigned  to  diii'erent  posts,  the  origi- 
nal roll  is  to  continue  with  the  last  detachment  to  its  destination,  each 
commander  completing  it  so  far  as  concerns  the  recniits  left  at  his  post. 
AV'hen  this  is  not  practicable,  extracts  from  the  original  roll  are  to  be 
made  by  the  authority  which  distriljutes  the  recruits,  to  accompany  the 
several  detachments  and  to  be  forwarded  to  the  Adjutant  and  Inspector

correct,  before  the  accused  pleads  to  them.  And  each  charge,  and  each 
.specification  of  a  chargei  should  set  fortii  but  one  offence,  eg.:  A  charge 
should  not  be  "Disorderly  conduct  and  a  Violation  of  21st  Article  of

The  proceeding.s  of  yesterday  were  read  over,  when  thfe  accused  pre-

(Should  the  Judge  At^-ocate  desire  time  to  reply,  lie  must  here  ai|c  for  it.) 
The  case  being  thus  concluded,  on  the  ])art  of  the  prosecution  and

maturely  considered  the  evidence  adduced.  {o7-  n-liere  the  accused  plfads

Judge  Advocate.  Presiding  at  Gen'l  Court  Martial. 

The  Court  being  called  to  order,  no  member  can  leave  his  place  With- 
out permission  of  the  President,  and  then  either  proceedings  must  be  sus- 
pended, in  case  he  is  only  absent  momentarily,  until  his  rettirn,  or  he 
cannot  resume  his  seat.  In  such  case  the  proceeilinfjs  would  be  null  and 
void.  Whenev-er  a  meriiber  is  absent  from  the  trial  of  a  case,  the  fact 
should  be  reported  in  the  proceeditftj;?,  with  the  reason  for. such  absence. 

Charges  may  be  amended  before  plea  of  the  accused;  -and  after  plea, 
in  case  he  pleads  in  abatement  for  a  misnomer,  or  wrong  addition,  in 
which  case  the  c-liarge  must  be  amended  accordiiig  to  what  the  prisoner 
declares  to  be  his  true  name  or  addition — and  the  trial  will  proceed  as 
if  no  such   dilatory  plea  had  been  entered. 

A  question  by  the  Court  cannot  be  objected  to. 

After  the  evidence  of  a  witness  is  romf>leted,  it  should  be  read  over  to 
him  ;  but  not  untik  it  is  entirely  coinpletcd — otherwise  it  miyhi  defeat  ih<s 
object  of  the  (MOss-examination. 

A  member  of  the  Court   is   a  competent   witness,  but  had   better   with-

draw,  if  he  is  to  testify  in  the  case;  providetl  the  number  prSseut  is  not 
reduced  below  the  minimuiii  (five)  prescribed  by  law. 

When  pajiers  are  protluced,  in  evidence,  they  should  be  attached  to 
the  reeol-d,  and  referred  to  by  appropriate  word?,  E.  G.,  hereto  attached 
and  marked  A. 

In  other  respects  the  ordinary  rules  in  civil  proceedings,  apply  as  to  evi- 
dence- No  erasne  or  obliteration  of  what  has  been  previously  stated  can 
be  made,  though  such  statement  infty  be  subsequently  modified  or  e.\^- 
plained  by  the  witness.  This,  of  course,  does  not  apply  to  th,e  mere 
erasure  of'  a  clerical  error.  Nor  will  it  sntKce  to  say  that  nothing  pertinent 
was  elicited.     The  whole  testimony  should  be  recorded.  _      , 

The  Court  can  decide  questions  only  on  deliberation;  and  whenever 
it  deliberates,  it  is  with  closed  doors,  and  the  record  must  show  that  it  was

,1.  As  some  misapprehension  prevails  relative  to  the  duties  of  General 
Courts-MartijU,  the  following  instructions  will  be  observed.  Members  of 
courts  are  not  excused  from  the  duties  imposed  by  detail  under  authority 
ordering  the  court,  until  relieved  by  the  same  authority.  Details  for 
Couits-Martial  have  precedence  over  all  other  duties,  except  Jiose  in  the 
battle-field,  for  which  temporary  adjournments  will  be  made;  and  no 
member  can  be  excused  from  duties  of  the  court,  by  other  details,  unles.s 
regularly  relieved  by  the  authority  ordering  the  court.  In  all  instances 
where  members  are  absent  from  Sittings  of  the  court,  names  of  absentees 
will  be  reported  in  proceedings,  with  causes  of  absence. 

II.  In  additign  to  requirements  of  paragraph  II,  General  Order  No,  131, 
Quartermasters  a-je  required,  in  making  estimates  of  wood  destroyed,  to 
give  certificates  to  claimants,  setting  forth,  as  nearly  as  possible,  the  area 
of  ground  cut  over,  the  number  of  cords  per  acre,  the  amount  paid  per 
cord,  and  the  quantity  actually  paid  for  which  must  not  exceed  the 'Regu- 
lation allowance. 

Tills  certificate  is  designed  to  protect  the  government  against  any  after 
claim,  except  for  excess  oxei  Ij^gulation  allowance  not  paid  for,  and  under 
such  arrangerjients  a#  n  ay  be  made  by  tlie  War  Depal-tment. 

The  value  of  the  farm  or  plantation  at  the  commencement  of  the  war,

III.  Whfre  impressments  have  to  be  resorted  to  under  :i  military  neces-

Under  no  circumstances  will  impressments  be  made,  except  under  written 
authority,  which,  in  all  cases,  shall  be  exhibited  to  owners  of  property  be-

adhered  to.  The  amount  of  each  article  on  hand  must  be  stated.  The 
explanation  of  circumstance^  demanding  th<?  issue,  must  be  full,  and 
should  state  how  the  deiio.encies  occurred,  whether  Lw  loss  or  by  wear 
and  tear  of  service.  When  the  re^ui^ition  is* rendered  necessary,  by 
stores  becoming  unserviceable,  it  must  be  accoinpaniedbv  the  report  of  au 
inspector,  as  to  whether  they  are  irreparable  or  not,  and  as  to  whether  any 
blame  is  to  be  attached  to  the  officers  having  charge  of  the  stores. 

v.  Great  delay  in  the  transaction  of  bu.siness  arises  from  neglect  in 
retyrning^o  this  office  pa^lers  referred  for  inforrtiation  or  remarks  of  com- 
manders. Corps  commanders  wilt  require  the  prompt  return  of  papers 
referred  through  them  for  action,  by  officers  of  their  respective  com- 
mands. 

VI.  Division  inspectors  will  examine  and  report  upon  all  public  animals 
within  tJieir  commands  unfit  for  service,  appropriating  a  separate  para^ 
graph,  in  their  weekly  returns,  to  this  information,  stating  tiie  branch  of 
service  to  which  they  belong,  oflicprs  responsible  for  them,  causes  render- 
ing them  unserviceable,  and  recommending  the  di.-position  to'be  made  of 
them,  for  such  further  instructions  as  may  be  deVmed  necessary  at  army 
headquarters.

»  Januarij  l.'6^A,   1S63.      / 

To  give  uniformity  to  inspections  to  those  serving  in  the  Inspector 
General's  Department,  the  following  instructions  are  published,  and  will 
be  ibserved.  Inspeciioir  of  troops  will  be  made  in  accordance  with  Form 
prescribed  in  Article  XXX,  Confederate  Army  Regulations;  inspecting 
condition  of  arms  and  accoutrements,  acquaintance  with  their  use  and  of 
the  "Mamial"  by  the  troops,  completeness  of  the  arm  in  all  its  parts,  and 
where  deficiencies  are  found,  either  of  paits  or  the  entire  piece,  that  they 
have  been  charged  upon  the  muster-rolls  against  the  soldier  thus  dehcient 
according  to  paragraph  '.'Jl  Army  Regulations;  cliar-icter  of  clothing,' 
neatness  of  person,  and  soldierly  appearance  of  the  command,  its  discip- 
line, evidenced  by  degree  of  instruction  of  the  men,  acquaintance  of  of- 
ficers with  tactic^,  regulations,  and  all  orders,  and  observanc?  of  require- 
ments of  each,  or  where  ignorant,  whether  attributable  to  indilference,  or 
incompetency  to  learn,  or   inability  to   get   them,  through   defective  trans-

mission.  The  police  of  camps,  the  digging  of  sinks,  and  the  nse  of  them, 
is  dnother  evidence  of  discipline,  and  is  necessary  for  the  proper  prese»- 
vation  of  health,  and  will  be  strictly  enjoined  ;  as  also  the  bur^l  of  oflal 
of  all  sorts,  either  accumulating  about  camp-fires  or  the  neighboring 
slaughter  pens,  or  from  animals  killed  or  dying  around  camp.  Regimental 
and  company  papers  should  be  carefully  examined,  to  see  that  returns  of 
property  are  madp  in  accordance  ■with  requiremeii.s  of  regulations  of  the 
different  departments.  Of  Ordnance  stores,  in  accordance  with  "Instruc- 
tions to  ordnance  Ofiicers  in  the  Field,"  No.  2 — of  Quartermaster's  De- 
})ariment,  with  paragraphs  from  1049  to  ]005,  and  of  Commissary  Depart- 
ment, with  paragraph  1133  of  Army  Regulations — w-hereby  accident  pre- 
venting his  turning  over  his  property,  responsibility  in  form,  an  officer 
in  charge  of  property  is  removed,  his  successor  shall  receipt  for  such 
property,  a  copy  of  the  inventory  taken  jherqiif  in  accordance  with  para- 
graph 932,  Army  Regulations,  answering  as  his  invoice,  the  receipt  to  be 
forwarded  to  the  Chief  of  Bureau  under  wliich  such  responsibility  exists. 
Every  company  officer  should  take  receipt  rolls  according  to  Forip  §2, 
Quartermaster's  Department,  Army  Regulations,  from  his  )nen,  for  public 
property  turned  over  to  them,  and  when  turning  over  ordnance  stores,  the 
regimental  commanders  should  do  the  same  with  the  officers,  thus  fixing, 
beyond  question,  the  responsibility  in  each  case.  In  the  inspection  of 
returns  and  accounts  in  regiments,  having  before  inspection  obtained  the 
nuinber  present  and  absent,  and,  verified  correspondence  of  reports 
with  facts  ;  the  inspector  keeps  an  account  of  arms,  &c.,  fbtmd  in  the 
hands  of  the  rnen  by  actual  inspection,  the  returns  show  number  fbr  which 
the  commanding  officer  is  responsible,  and  discrepancies  must  be  ex- 
plained when  existing.  The  same  principle  obtains  in  examination  of 
property  oi  monied  accounts,  ascertaining  amoimts  on  hand,  and  thei<r  cor- 
respondence with  what  returns  call  for,  less  what  has  been  disposed  of, 
properly  support^!  by  voi^chers.  Messes  should  be  looked  into;  company 
•officers,  under  paragraph  108,  are  especially  required  to  look  to  (his,  as 
nothing  conduces  more  to  l*alth  than  the  proper  preparation  of  food, 
which  regulation  should  be  strictly  carried  out.  Con. plaints,  respecting 
quantity,  are  frequently  made,  to  correct  which,  comrtiissaries  should  issue 
by  weight  where  practicable,  or  where  the'  meat  ration  is  received  on 
the  hoof,  the  requirements  of  paragraph  1147,  by  which  llie  corps  com- 
missaries receive  beef,  should  be  carried  down  to  tRe  command  where  the 
beef  is  killed  and  distributed  by  weight,  otherwise  there  can  be  no  fair  or 
equal  distribution.  In  the  exainination  of  iransportation  and  of  the  bat- 
teries, see  that  General  Orders  115,  and  paragraph  VI,  of  General  Order 
No.  125,  are- enforced,  those  in  charge  giving  ^)«rso« a/  attention  to  their . 
trusts,  causing  animals  to  be  regularly  groomed,  fed  and  watered  ;  wagon* 
and  harness  ro  be  kept  in  good  repair  aHd  greased,  the  latter  hung  up 
above  the  ground,  and  all  located  in  dry,  sheltered  positions.  Where  prO' 
perty  is  found  lying  in  exposed  positions,  those  responsible  for  it  will  bi 
reported,  or  if  owners  cannot  be  found,  it  will  be  turned  over  to  some  p 
ficer  of  the  department  to  which  it  pertains,  and  be  taken  up,  on  his  n 
turns,  to  be  accounted  for  to  the  government.  When  troops  leave  campj 
the  brigadi;  inspector  should  go  over  the  ground  ami  caus?  the  rear  guan" 
to  collect  all  property  left  by  the  command,  and  put  it  intp  wagons  of  the 
brigade;  arms,  accoutrements,  axes,  &c..  being  frequently  left  on  thegrouivd 
vacated,  and  thereby  lost.  Orders,  full  and  complete,  about  straggling  and 
marauding,  having  been  issued,  w.U  be  carefully  read  and  en.orced,  and 
it  will  be  ascertained  if  these   orders   have  been   published,  to  and    aie-

Wanton  destruction  of  property  has,  in  too  many  instances,  been  inflicted 
by  tlieir  natural  protectors  upon  our -helpless  anil  suH'ering  citizens,  so  dis- 
^;raceful  in  character,  as  to  be  classed  wiili  tliose  connniiied  by  our  ene- 
mies.* This.  Iiappily,  is  tolerated  onl}'  in  those  commands  where  laxity  of 
iliscipline  and  incompetency  to  command  are  found  to  prevail,  aful  ii  be- 
coines  luore  necessary  to  correct  an  evil  thus  casting  discredit  upon  the 
whole  army,  by  bringing  the  few  oflonders  to  the  notice  of  the  Command- 
ing General.  It  is  the  opinion  of  the  Commanding  General,  that  irregu- 
larities can  and  must  be  stopped,  and  it  was  partly  with  this  view  that  the 
system  of  insjiection  was  adopted,  ami  where  requirements  of  pnragrapli 
ITof  General  Ch-der  No.  IMl,  esjjceialiy  designed  to  correct  this  evil,  are 
overlooked,  those  so-neglecirul  will  be  relieved  from  duty,  and  replaced 
by  others  possessinp,  more  zeal  and  efliciency.  Where  damages  are  cotn- 
niitted,  they  will  be  inmiedia'tely  reporte<l  to  brigade  commanders,  who 
will  cause  them  to  be  assessed,  and  paid  for  by  commanders  of  troops 
committing  them,  reporting  facts  in  the  usual  weekly  rejjorts,  and  ending 
in  receipts  ibr  payment,  to  be  filed  in  claim  office  in  Richmond  in  b.ir  of 
future  claims.  When  wood  is  cut,  an  estimate  of  quantity  consumed 
should  be  given  by  the  Quartermaster,  before,  rir  upon  leaving  camp,  with 
statement  of  amoimt  actually  paid  for,  with  the  view  to  after  adjustment 
with  the  government  for  the  balance.  In  battle,  inspectors  will  see  that 
no  straggling  is  permitted,  taking  the  nam^s  rtf  otHcers  and  men  ;ibandon- 
ing  the  ranks  improperly;  none  but  the  wounded  and  attendants  provided 
lor  in  paragraph  I,  General  Order  No.  94,  or  sick,  with  surgeon's  certificate 
countersigned  by  regimental  commanders,  are  permitted  to  fall  back.  In 
the  intervals  of  the  batfle,  the  inspectors  will  apply  lor  assistance,  and 
cause  property  within  our  lines  and  beyond  range  of  the  enemy's  (ire,  to 
be  collected  together  and  placed  convenient  for  wagons  to  carry  oil",  re- 
ceive all  prisoners  captured,  taking  a  correct  list  of  tlieir  names,  brigades, 
regiments  and  companies,  to  be  turned  over  to  the  provost  marshal,  in 
order  that  the  command  making  such  captures  may  be  known,  as  also  to 
facilitate  the  making  out  of  the  general  list  to  be  transmitted  to  Riclimo.'d. 
They  will  see,  under  the  same  order,  that  no  misappropriation  of  captured 
property  occur,  and  that  agents  of  respective  departments  collect,  and  take 
up  on  their  returns  such  as  pertains  to  their  department.  The  foregoing 
instructions  are  more  especially  tlesigned  for  those  just  entering  ujjon  the 
duties  of  inspection,  and  doubtful  in  regard  to  their  extent  and  character. 
As  tlvose  called  upon  to  correct  irre;;ularitics,  and  to  inform  riio<:c  ignorant 
of  their  rluties,  should  be  well  informed  themselves,  it  is  enjoined  upon 
all  acting  in  tlie  ilepartment,  to  provide  themselves  with  tactics.  Army 
Regulations,  and  all  orders  herein  referred  to,  with  all  others,  relating  to

formed, ai^  arduous,  and  in  some  cases  invidious,  nut"  where  zeal  anil  an 
anxious  (iesire  for  the  »dvancemenl  of  our  cause  are  apjjarent,  all  right- 
minded  persons  will  not  only  respect,  but  cordially  aid  all  efforts,  prompted

wood,  from  one  inch  to  three  inches  in  diameter,  into  lengths  of  one  foot 
to  three  feet,  forming  them  into  a  conical  pile,  and  covering  them  with 
turf  or  clay,  leaving  two  or  three  small  holes  close  to  the  ground  for 
lighting  the  wood,  and  boring  through  the  turf  in  the  upper  part  of  the 
cone,  a  few  small  holes,  for  the  escape  of  the  smoke. 

The  pile  being  lighted  at  the  several  holes  along  the  bottom,  continues 
burning  with  a  slow,  smouldering  flame  for  a  week  or  two,  and  is  allowed 
to  cyol  before  the-tuif  is  removed.  In  the  case  of  very  high  winds,  the
